# Audit event types **(PREMIUM ALL)**

Audit event types are used to [filter streamed audit events](index.md#update-event-filters).

Every audit event is associated with an event type. Audit event types can allow audit events to be:

- Saved to the database. Available in the Premium and Ultimate tier. You can retrieve audit events associated with these
  types by using the audit events dashboard or the [audit events API](../../api/audit_events.md).
- Streamed to external destinations. Available in the Ultimate tier. You can stream audit events associated with these
  types [to external destinations](../index.md) if a destination is set.

Some audit event types don't allow saving audit events to the database. Other audit event types don't allow streaming
audit events to external destinations.

## Available audit event types
