6 This module provides infrastructure for audit logging inside Prosody.

8 ## What is audit logging?
9
10 Audit logs will contain security sensitive events, both for server-wide
11 incidents as well as user-specific.
12
13 This module, however, only provides the infrastructure for audit logging. It
14 does not, by itself, generate such logs. For that, other modules, such as
15 `mod_audit_auth` or `mod_audit_register` need to be loaded.
16
17 ## A note on privacy
18
19 Audit logging is intended to ensure the security of a system. As such, its
20 contents are often at the same time highly sensitive (containing user names
21 and IP addresses, for instance) and allowed to be stored under common privacy
22 regulations.
23
24 Before using these modules, you may want to ensure that you are legally
25 allowed to store the data for the amount of time these modules will store it.
26 Note that it is currently not possible to store different event types with
27 different expiration times.
