Description:
Liferay Audit continues to log data on the audit page even when the feature is disabled in the System Settings. The logs appear to be the same other than the missing user IP addresses. The expectation is that the disable checkbox should completely disable the Audit feature.

Steps To Reproduce:
1. Click Menu in the top left
2. Go to Control Panel > Configuration > System Settings
3. Click the Foundation tab
4. Next to Audit, click the three dots and Edit
5. Uncheck the Enabled checkbox

Expected Result:
When disabled, Audit should no longer be active and logs should no longer be generated.
Actual Result:
When disabled, Audit still logs activity but omits data such as the users IP address.
