Description

Enhance the configuration for audit loggers to take two new parameters. One is for defining the key-value separator character, and the second is for the field separator character.

The existing behavior will be preserved. However an operator can configure parameters to customize the separators. For example:

audit_logging_options:
  enabled: false
  logger:
    - class_name: FileAuditLogger
      parameters:
        - key_value_separator: "="
          field_separator: " "
