Hello all,

I run auditbeat 7.1.0 and i can't disable the ssh log for auditbeat.  
On the graylog i get this:

> auditbeat\_auditd\_data\_op  
> PAM:session\_open  
> auditbeat\_auditd\_data\_terminal  
> ssh

On the auditbeat config file i have this:

```
 - module: auditd
   audit_rule_files: ['${path.config}/audit.rules.d/*.conf']
   audit_rules: |
     -w /etc -p wa -k etc

```

The module system for login is comment out

Hi @nopma - services like pam and openssh send login events to auditd by default, and that is likely what you are seeing. You could configure Auditbeat to drop those events using a [drop\_event](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/auditbeat/7.1/drop-event.html) processor.
