Auditing Universal Events

The Universal Event Web Service Publish Audit lets you specify whether or not an audit record is generated for each Universal Event published through the Universal Event Web Services.

(The Universal Event Extension Publish Audit lets you specify whether or not an audit record is generated for each Universal Event published through an Extension-based Universal Task Instance.)

Note

Enabling these audit properties can generate a large quantity of audit.
