# Audit event handler configuration

To configure an audit event handler, set the `config` properties for that handler in your project's `conf/audit.json` file.

You can also set them over REST, at the `openidm/config/audit` context path.

In the legacy admin UI, click Configure > System Preferences > Audit, and click the edit icon for your event handler.

The tables in this section show the configuration properties common to all audit event handlers, then the properties specific to each audit event handler.
