A web lookup ran when this term was proposed
A policy-level configuration artifact that specifies which system or application activities will be captured in audit logs, along with the parameters governing how each activity is recorded (e.g., success, failure, or both). It is the administrative mechanism by which an organization operationalizes its audit policy — translating requirements from frameworks such as NIST SP 800-53 AU-2, CIS Control 8, and ISO 27001 into discrete, enforceable controls that determine what the logging subsystem actually monitors. In practice, practitioners configure these settings to balance security visibility against system performance and log noise, selecting from available event categories and subcategories to meet compliance obligations and support incident investigation.
