GLOBAL SETTINGS

# Use the [default] stanza to define any global settings.
#  * You can also define global settings outside of any stanza, at the top of the file.
#  * Each conf file should have at most one default stanza. If there are
#    multiple default stanzas, attributes are combined. In the case of multiple
#    definitions of the same attribute, the last definition in the file wins.
#  * If an attribute is defined at both the global level and in a specific
#    stanza, the value in the specific stanza takes precedence.

[auditTrail]

queueing = <boolean>
* Whether or not audit events are sent to the indexQueue.
* If set to "true", audit events are sent to the indexQueue.
* If set to "false", you must add an inputs.conf stanza to tail the
  audit log for the events reach your index.
* Default: true
