All operations are logged to
/var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-upgrades.log
and the package manager (dpkg) output is logged to
/var/log/unattended-upgrades/unattended-up‐grades-dpkg.log

You can arrange to get emails by editing
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/50unattended-upgrades.  Lots other options as well.
