+The Auditd Manager is one of the integrations that can power the [Session View](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/security/current/session-view.html) utility for the Elastic Security Platform.

+- Using the toggle switch (Method 1) automatically applies these configurations, making it the simpler option for most users.
+- When enabling session data capture, be aware that it will collect extended process data, which may have privacy and storage implications.
+- You can disable session data capture at any time by turning off the toggle switch or removing the manual configurations.
+- If you switch between methods or disable the feature, ensure that any conflicting configurations are removed to avoid unexpected behaviour.
