Hi everyone,  
have configured Percona audit plugin on a 3 nodes Percona xtradb cluster 5.7, it works well when we do not have to do a full SST of a node. When simulating a full sst by deleting everything in /var/lib/mysql The node won’t start because he does not recongnize audit plugin parameter in my config file . Message :  
2019-06-18T10:55:11.525265-05:00 0 [ERROR] unknown variable ‘audit\_log\_format=JSON’  
2019-06-18T10:55:11.525296-05:00 0 [ERROR] Aborting

If I remove all parameter the node starts, full sst happen and I can put back those parameter start stop of the node with IST works.

Is there a way to make it works without having to comment those prameters ? Am i doing something wrong ?

Thank you
