+summary: Audit Logging
+rockspec: {}
+...
+
+This module provides infrastructure for audit logging inside Prosody.
+
+## What is audit logging?
+
+Audit logs will contain security sensitive events, both for server-wide
+incidents as well as user-specific.
+
+This module, however, only provides the infrastructure for audit logging. It
+does not, by itself, generate such logs. For that, other modules, such as
+`mod_audit_auth` or `mod_audit_register` need to be loaded.
+
+## A note on privacy
+
+Audit logging is intended to ensure the security of a system. As such, its
+contents are often at the same time highly sensitive (containing user names
+and IP addresses, for instance) and allowed to be stored under common privacy
+regulations.
+
+Before using these modules, you may want to ensure that you are legally
+allowed to store the data for the amount of time these modules will store it.
+Note that it is currently not possible to store different event types with
+different expiration times.
