15.3.2. Configuring audit logging appenders

Procedure

1. Open $RHDG_HOME/server/conf/log4j2.xml with any text editor.

2. Comment or remove the default AUDIT-FILE rolling file appender.

   <!--RollingFile name="AUDIT-FILE"
     ...
   </RollingFile-->

3. Add the desired logging appender for audit messages.

   For example, you could add a logging appender for a Kafka server as follows:

   <Kafka name="AUDIT-KAFKA" topic="audit">
     <PatternLayout pattern="%date %message"/>
     <Property name="bootstrap.servers">localhost:9092</Property>
   </Kafka>

4. Save and close log4j2.xml.
