Use audit log levels to configure the amount of telemetry data collected. Telemetry has two levels: Level 1 (Standard) and Level 2 (Increased Risk). Level 1 auditing is appropriate for most computers, while level 2 is a good choice for computers that require more detailed auditing. Both audit levels are dependent on the Activate Verbose Logging option available when creating a telemetry configuration. When verbose logging is active, activity from both administrative, and non-administrative users is collected.
Jamf recommends level 1 for most computers.
If you are unsure about what level of auditing to assign, or whether to enable verbose logging, you can configure a plan with the minimum settings (Level 1 and no verbose logging) and evaluate the data received to see if it meets your needs. If you find that you need more detailed data, activate verbose logging and recheck the data to ensure it is sufficient. You can experiment with the different log levels and verbosity to find the correct settings that meet your needs in the most efficient way.

Best suited for computers that handle sensitive information on a regular basis. In addition to all data collected in level 1, level 2 collects:
