```
org.forgerock.audit.events.handlers.AuditEventHandler create(AuditEventHandlerConfiguration configuration)
                                                      throws org.forgerock.audit.AuditException
```
    Create an instance of AuditEventHandler. This method will be called every time configuration for audit logging in OpenAM has changed. The returned handler will be added to the appropriate AuditService, which will in turn call AuditEventHandler.startup(). If this method returns null then nothing will be added to the AuditService.
    
    Parameters:
    
    configuration - The configuration properties to use when creating the handler.
    
    Returns:
    
    An instance of AuditEventHandler or null if this handler is disabled.
    
    Throws:
    
    org.forgerock.audit.AuditException - If an error occurred during creation of the handler.
