If you’re seeing this frequently and it’s causing noise in your logs, you can adjust your logging level to WARN or ERROR to suppress these informational messages. Alternatively, you can configure your logging to filter out these specific messages.

                .test(new AuditEventMetaInfo(Optional.of(user); Optional.of(realm); Optional.empty(); Optional.empty())) == false)) {
            if (includeRequestBody) {
                logger.info("{}[rest] [authentication_success]\t{}; {}; realm=[{}]; uri=[{}]; params=[{}]{}; request_body=[{}]";

                        restRequestContent(request));
            } else {
                logger.info("{}[rest] [authentication_success]\t{}; {}; realm=[{}]; uri=[{}]; params=[{}]{}"; localNodeInfo.prefix;
