2. Add a new logger under <Loggers> element with the following content:

For Web Console:

Code Block
languagexml
themeRDark
<Logger name="org.montier.ui.web.filters.AuditFilter" level="debug" additivity="false">
	<AppenderRef ref="AUDIT"/>
</Logger>

Code Block
languagexml
themeRDark
<Logger name="org.montier.utils.admin.web.filter.AuditFilter" level="debug" additivity="false">
	<AppenderRef ref="AUDIT"/>
</Logger>
