- Method Detail
  - isAuditEnabled
```
boolean isAuditEnabled()
```
    Determines whether audit is globally enabled or disabled.
    
    Returns:
    
    Returns true if audit is enabled
    
    Since:
    
    3.3
  - setAuditEnabled
```
void setAuditEnabled(boolean enable)
```
    Switch auditing on or off
    
    Parameters:
    
    enable - true to enable auditing or false to disable
    
    Since:
    
    3.4
  - setUserAuditFilter
```
void setUserAuditFilter(UserAuditFilter userAuditFilter)
```
    Parameters:
    
    userAuditFilter - UserAuditFilter
    
    Since:
    
    4.2
  - getAuditApplications
```
Map<String,AuditApplication> getAuditApplications()
```
    Get all registered audit applications, whether active or not.
    
    Returns:
    
    Returns a map of registered audit applications keyed by name
    
    Since:
    
    3.4
  - areAuditValuesRequired
```
boolean areAuditValuesRequired()
```
    Determine whether the audit infrastructure expects audit values to be passed in. This is a helper method to allow optimizations in the client code. Reasons why this method might return false are: auditing is disabled; no audit applications have been registered. Sometimes, depending on the log level, this method may always return true.
    
    Returns:
    
    Returns true if the calling code (data producers) should go ahead and generate the data for recording.
    
    Since:
    
    3.3
  - areAuditValuesRequired
```
boolean areAuditValuesRequired(String path)
```
    Determines if audit values are required based on whether there are any audit applications registered to record data for the given path. This helper method gives data producers a shortcut in the event that nothing would be recorded in any event.
    
    Parameters:
    
    path - the audit path
    
    Returns:
    
    Returns true if there is at least one audit application registered to handle the given path.
    
    Since:
    
    3.4
  - deleteAuditEntries
```
int deleteAuditEntries(String applicationName,
                       Long fromTime,
                       Long toTime)
```
    Delete audit entries for the given application and time range
    
    Parameters:
    
    applicationName - the name of the application being logged to
    
    fromTime - the start time of entries to remove (inclusive and optional)
    
    toTime - the end time of entries to remove (exclusive and optional)
    
    Returns:
    
    Returns the number of entries deleted
    
    Since:
    
    3.2
  - deleteAuditEntries
```
int deleteAuditEntries(List<Long> auditEntryIds)
```
    Delete a discrete list of audit entries based on ID
    
    Parameters:
    
    auditEntryIds - the audit entry IDs to delete
    
    Returns:
    
    Returns the number of entries deleted
  - isAuditPathEnabled
```
boolean isAuditPathEnabled(String applicationName,
                           String path)
```
    Check if an audit path is enabled. The path will be disabled if it or any higher path has been explicitly disabled. Any disabled path will not be processed when data is audited.
    
    Parameters:
    
    applicationName - the name of the application being logged to
    
    path - the audit path to check or null to assume the application's root path
    
    Returns:
    
    Returns true if the audit path has been disabled
    
    Since:
    
    3.2
  - enableAudit
```
void enableAudit(String applicationName,
                 String path)
```
    Enable auditing (if it is not already enabled) for all paths that contain the given path. The path is the path as originally logged and not the path that the generated data may contain - although this would be similarly enabled.
    If the enabled
    
    Parameters:
    
    applicationName - the name of the application being logged to
    
    path - the audit path to check or null to assume the application's root path
    
    Since:
    
    3.2
  - disableAudit
```
void disableAudit(String applicationName,
                  String path)
```
    Disable auditing (if it is not already disabled) for all paths that contain the given path. The path is the path as originally logged and not the path that the generated data may contain - although this would be similarly disabled.
    If the path is /x/y then any data paths that start with /x/y will be stripped out before data generators and data recorders are applied. If the path represents the root path of the application, then auditing for that application is effectively disabled.
    
    Parameters:
    
    applicationName - the name of the application being logged to
    
    path - the audit path to check or null to assume the application's root path
    
    Since:
    
    3.2
  - resetDisabledPaths
```
void resetDisabledPaths(String applicationName)
```
    Remove all disabled paths i.e. enable all per-path based auditing. Auditing may still be disabled globally. This is primarily for test purposes; applications should know which paths need enabling or disabled.
    
    Parameters:
    
    applicationName - the name of the application
    
    Since:
    
    3.2
  - recordAuditValues
```
Map<String,Serializable> recordAuditValues(String rootPath,
                                           Map<String,Serializable> values)
```
    Create an audit entry for the given map of values. The map key is a path - starting with '/' (AuditApplication.AUDIT_PATH_SEPARATOR) - relative to the root path provided.
    The root path and value keys are combined to produce a map of data keyed by full path. This fully-pathed map is then passed through the audit path mapper. The result may yield data destined for several different audit applications. depending on the data extraction and generation defined in the applications, values (or derived values) may be recorded against several audit entries (one per application represented).
    The return values reflect what was actually persisted and is controlled by the data extractors defined in the audit configuration.
    A new read-write transaction is started if there are values to write that there is not a viable transaction present.
    
    Parameters:
    
    rootPath - a base path of AuditPath key entries concatenated with the path separator '/' (AuditApplication.AUDIT_PATH_SEPARATOR)
    
    values - the values to audit mapped by AuditPath key relative to root path (may be null)
    
    Returns:
    
    Returns the values that were actually persisted, keyed by their full path.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if the transaction state could not be determined
    
    Since:
    
    3.2
  - recordAuditValuesWithUserFilter
```
Map<String,Serializable> recordAuditValuesWithUserFilter(String rootPath,
                                                         Map<String,Serializable> values,
                                                         boolean useUserFilter)
```
    The same as recordAuditValues(String, Map), but with controlled usage of userFilter
    
    Parameters:
    
    rootPath - a base path of AuditPath key entries concatenated with the path separator '/' (AuditApplication.AUDIT_PATH_SEPARATOR)
    
    values - the values to audit mapped by AuditPath key relative to root path (may be null)
    
    useUserFilter - if false the user filter is disabled.
    
    Returns:
    
    Returns the values that were actually persisted, keyed by their full path.
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalStateException - if the transaction state could not be determined
  - auditQuery
```
void auditQuery(AuditService.AuditQueryCallback callback,
                AuditQueryParameters parameters,
                int maxResults)
```
    Find audit entries using the given parameters
    
    Parameters:
    
    callback - the data callback per entry
    
    parameters - the parameters for the query (may not be null)
    
    maxResults - the maximum number of results to retrieve (must be greater than 0)
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if maxResults less or equal to zero
    
    Since:
