The customer does not use auditing. They want to ensure it is completely turned off for performance reasons leading up to a major sporting event, Grand National. 

Environment

Env : 9.3

Resolution

Please ensure you have turned off audits; the ultimate way to turn off audits is: 

1. make sure every instance of "Add Audit Detail" is Type=Log instead of Type=Audit 
2. Add a custom audit sink policy, remove all the assertions from it, and only have a "continue processing" 
3. set the audit.messageThreshold and audit.detailThreshold to WARNING or SEVERE, depending on what information you want to keep in your ssg logs.
