HealthMonitoring Failure Audits Repercussions in ASP.NET : <p>Our event viewer shows two information-level messages that we want to omit from the event logs: </p>

<ol>
<li>When a user fails authentication (Event code: 4006 Event message:
Membership credential verification failed.)</li>
<li>When forms
authentication has expired and the user navigates to the default
page (Event code: 4005 Event message: Forms authentication failed
for the request. Reason: The ticket supplied has expired.)</li>
</ol>

<p>Researching how to exclude these types of messages has led me to understand that if I include the following in my web.config file, these messages won't show up. When I test this, I see that is indeed the case.</p>

<pre><code>&lt;healthMonitoring&gt;
    &lt;rules&gt;
        &lt;clear /&gt;
        &lt;add name="All Errors Default" eventName="All Errors" provider="EventLogProvider" profile="Default" minInstances="1" maxLimit="Infinite" minInterval="00:01:00" custom=""/&gt;
    &lt;/rules&gt;
&lt;/healthMonitoring&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>In other words, I omit this from the default web.config:</p>

<pre><code>&lt;add name="Failure Audits Default" eventName="Failure Audits" provider="EventLogProvider" profile="Default" minInstances="1" maxLimit="Infinite" minInterval="00:01:00" custom=""/&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>My question is: what else could I potentially be excluding the event log by removing this node? And if there are other potential repercussions, is there another or a better way to exclude just those two types of error logs that I mentioned above?</p>

<p>Thanks in advance!</p>
