### Vault Enterprise Performance Standby nodes audit all request headers

#### Affected versions

- 1.15.0 - 1.15.7

#### Issue

Due to an issue in the new event framework, Performance Standby nodes in a Vault
Enterprise cluster do not correctly receive configuration regarding which request
headers should be written to the audit log.

Rather than no headers appearing in the audit logs by default, Vault Enterprise
logs **all** headers on Performance Standby nodes.

The header issue was resolved in `1.15.8`.

#### Workaround

Set the `VAULT_AUDIT_DISABLE_EVENTLOGGER` environment variable to `true` to
disable the new underlying event framework and restart Vault:

```shell-session
$ export VAULT_AUDIT_DISABLE_EVENTLOGGER=true
```

On startup, Vault reverts to the audit behavior used in `1.14.x`.
