I would like to disable/enable the audit profile on Ignition edge.  
I do not find anything to do that directly in SDK.  
Perhaps I need to use 8.3.8 new system.config API ?

Ultimately, you need to write an `enabled: false` value into the resource's attributes.

Are you trying to do this from a custom module, or in a scripting environment?

Then yes, this is absolutely possible with `system.config`. Something like this:

```python
moduleId="ignition"
typeId="audit-profile"
name="MyAuditProfile"

existing = system.config.getResource(moduleId=moduleId, typeId=typeId, name=name)
if existing is None:
	throw ValueError("No such resource: %s/%s/%s" % (moduleId, typeId, name))

system.config.replace(
	moduleId=moduleId,
	typeId=typeId, 
	name=name, 
	signature=existing.signature, 
	enabled=not existing.enabled,
	files=existing.files
)

```

Thanks a lot. I think we will have lots of usecase for the new system.config API !

I suppose that **system.config.replace** trigger the listener for settings changed in the IA audit module which is immediatly aware of the new settings ?  
no need to execute some gateway rescan.

Correct. Just like the REST API, config changes here affect the in-memory model immediately, and are then synced to disk.
