Audit Events Policy
The 'Audit Event' policy type allows administrators to collect logs from audit events at the endpoints. The audit event logs are available by default in Windows and Linux systems and this type of policy does not require any additional configuration. The administrator can create a schedule to collects logs and define a blackout period during which the agent will not collect logs. The newly created policy can then be deployed onto the agents installed in the customer's endpoints. Refer to the section 'Configuring Log Collection Policies' for more details.
To create an audit policy
- Open the Collection Policies interface by clicking the 'Navigational Menu' button from the top right, choosing 'Agents' from the options and then clicking 'Collection Policies'.
- Click the 'Add' button at the bottom of the 'Collection Policies' screen at the left.
The configuration screen for creating a new policy will be displayed.
- Choose 'Audit' from the 'Policy Type' drop-down.
The configuration screen for Audit Policy will be displayed.

a name for the new policy in the 'Policy Name' field at the top
The Audit policy does not require any additional configuration as it instructs the agent to collect logs from audit events and is to be always ON. Hence the configuration area at the right is disabled for this policy type.
- Click the 'Submit' button to save your changes.
The policy will be added to NxSIEM
and will be available for deployment to endpoints. Refer to the
section 'Configuring
Log Collection Policies' for more details on deploying the newly
created policy onto customer's endpoints.
