Home > Auditing > Defining Audit Event Settings
The Audit Event Settings tab of the Settings window lets you create discard rules, which define the events that should be excluded from the auditing process. Each rule includes a field name and one or more specific values. Any events matching the criteria defined by these rules are not audited by the system.
For example, events related to internal operations performed by automatic processes, such as image transfers by the CAM, can be excluded to prevent the system from becoming overloaded with audit messages.
