DROP SERVER AUDIT audit_name
[ ; ]
You must set the State of an audit to the OFF option in order to make any changes to an Audit. If you run DROP AUDIT while an audit is enabled with any options other than STATE = OFF, you receive a MSG_NEED_AUDIT_DISABLED error message.
A DROP SERVER AUDIT removes the metadata for the Audit, but not the audit data that was collected before the command was issued.
DROP SERVER AUDIT doesn't drop associated server or database audit specifications. These specifications must be dropped manually or left orphaned and later mapped to a new server audit.
To create, alter, or drop a Server Audit Principal, you need ALTER ANY SERVER AUDIT or CONTROL SERVER permissions.
The following example drops an audit called HIPAA_Audit.
ALTER SERVER AUDIT HIPAA_Audit
WITH (STATE = OFF);
GO
DROP SERVER AUDIT HIPAA_Audit;
