Forms authentication failed for the request. Reason: The ticket supplied has expired

My event log开发者_JS百科 is flooded with this message:

Forms authentication failed for the request. Reason: The ticket supplied has expired.

I think this happens when people timeout instead of logout.

First of all , this is not an error, it's Type: Information

I don't want this information, how do I stop ASP.NET from logging it?

My application is not web-farmed, and uses a static machine key.

Here's the solution:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
   <system.web>
      <healthMonitoring>
         <rules>
            <remove name="Failure Audits Default" />
         </rules>
      </healthMonitoring>
   </system.web>
</configuration>

Note that this will prevent the logging off all System.Web.Management.WebFailureAuditEvent events, which covers the event range 4005-4011. There is probably a way to just remove 4005, but this solution is good enough for me.

Adding to Max Toro's solution and for the curious, this seems to be the way one would add back 4006 to 4011:

<healthMonitoring enabled="true">

  <providers>
    <add name="EventLogProvider" type="System.Web.Management.EventLogWebEventProvider,System.Web,Version=2.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"/>
  </providers>

  <eventMappings>
    <!-- Event Mappings for 0-4004 and 4006 to infinite, skipping 4005, see last attribute of these entries -->
    <add name="Failure Audits 1" type="System.Web.Management.WebFailureAuditEvent,System.Web,Version=2.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" startEventCode="0" endEventCode="4004"/>
    <add name="Failure Audits 2" type="System.Web.Management.WebFailureAuditEvent,System.Web,Version=2.0.0.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" startEventCode="4006" endEventCode="2147483647"/>
  </eventMappings>

  <rules>
    <!-- REMOVE ITEMS NOTED BY MAX -->
    <remove name="Failure Audits Default"/>     
    <!-- ADD Back 4006 to 4011 with these two entries, skipping over 4005 -->
    <add name="Failure Audits Default 1" eventName="Failure Audits 1" provider="EventLogProvider" profile="Default" minInstances="1" maxLimit="Infinite" minInterval="00:01:00" custom=""/>
    <add name="Failure Audits Default 2" eventName="Failure Audits 2" provider="EventLogProvider" profile="Default" minInstances="1" maxLimit="Infinite" minInterval="00:01:00" custom=""/>
  </rules>

</healthMonitoring>

Seems to work for me.
