These are the audit events emitted by the External Security Facility (ESF),
Micro Focus Directory Server (MFDS), JCL, and Data File Tools. Events from ESF use the "mf.safmgr" component ID; those from MFDS use "mf.mfds", JCL uses "mf.jcl", and Data File Tools use "mf.cas".
ESF Events: Category and Type Codes, and Parameters
In the following list, the first number is the event category and the second number is the event type. Events are grouped by category, so "1:x" or "1 x" is the collection of events in category 1, the category for events generated by the audit facility itself.
