NOTE: Audit events are batched for indexing so there is a lag before
events appear in the index. You can control how frequently batches of
events are pushed to the index by setting
`xpack.security.audit.index.flush_interval` in `elasticsearch.yml`.

----------------------------
The `index` output type should be used in conjunction with the `logfile`
output type Because it is possible for the `index` output type to lose
messages if the target index is unavailable, the `access.log` should be
used as the official record of events.
NOTE: Audit events are batched for indexing so there is a lag before

events are pushed to the index by setting
`xpack.security.audit.index.flush_interval` in `elasticsearch.yml`.
TIP: If you choose to enable the `index` output type, we strongly recommend that
you still use the `logfile` output as the official record of events. If the
target index is unavailable (for example, during a rolling upgrade), the `index`
output can lose messages.
