In the output stage, a bean named shibboleth.AuditFormattingMap is used to write any number of log records containing any fields you configure to the logging API, at which point the Logback configuration takes over and decides how to send that data to particular log files or other log sinks. The bean is a map between logging categories and formatting strings.

The consent audit log relies on its own properties and beans to provide an audit format, so refer to that documentation for those specifics.

Formatting strings contain fields denoted with a '%' character followed by a field label, and any whitespace or punctuation terminates a field label and is included in the record directly.  Using '%%' will output a single percent character.

An additional bean, shibboleth.AuditSuppressedProfiles, contains a list of profile identifiers that should not result in audit log records. The default list is used to exempt the "status" handler from being logged. A partial list of profile IDs can be found in the MetadataDrivenConfiguration topic.

Finally, when errors are handled "locally" (see ErrorHandlingConfiguration), the IdP can be told whether to output an audit log record or not when the error event occurs. This is useful to suppress logging noise when common errors occur that would lead to a lot of useless auditing. The flag controlling this is inside the shibboleth.LocalEventMap bean in conf/errors.xml (the value of each map entry is the flag indicating whether to log).
