Enabling and disabling an audit application in the repository.
API Explorer URL: http://localhost:8080/api-explorer/#!/audit/updateAuditApp
To update an audit application you must have admin rights. What this means is that the user that is making the ReST call must be a member of the ALFRESCO_ADMINISTRATORS group.
It’s possible to update the audit app’s isEnabled property. Use the following PUT call: http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/audit-applications/{id}
The identifier for the audit app to be updated is specified with the {id} parameter.
The body for an audit app update call looks like this:
{
"isEnabled": [true | false]
}
To disable an audit application with the id alfresco-access make the following call:
$ curl -X PUT -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -H 'Accept: application/json' -H 'Authorization: Basic VElDS0VUXzA4ZWI3ZTJlMmMxNzk2NGNhNTFmMGYzMzE4NmNjMmZjOWQ1NmQ1OTM=' -d '{ "isEnabled": false }' 'http://localhost:8080/alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/audit-applications/alfresco-access' | jq

{

"id": "alfresco-access"
}
}
The response shows that the audit app has indeed been disabled.
New audit entries (logs) will not be created for a disabled audit application until it’s re-enabled (and system-wide auditing is also enabled).
Note, it’s still possible to query and/or delete any existing audit entries (logs) even if auditing is disabled for the audit application.
