Setting Audit Log Policy
An audit log entry may not be modified or selectively deleted. Entries are removed only as a
result of the default age-out policy or a modified policy configured by the administrator.
Audit Log data is maintained either by the default policy or by an Administrator-directed policy.

To easily change the Audit Log policy, use the Configuration Component
com.hp.sdn.adm.auditlog.impl.AuditLogManager in the controller GUI.

Note
In a teamed environment, the audit log shows events for all controllers in the team.
As long as the trim.enabled key is set to true (the default), Audit Log maintenance is
automatically managed as a background task to periodically remove audit log entries according
to the trim.auditlog.age policy. Removed entries are permanently deleted from the system.
