Apparmor messages for certbot snap

Everything seems to be working okay with certbot but I'm seeing these messages in my logs. Is this anything to be concerned about? Is there an easy way to get rid of these?

It's normal and will show up any time the Certbot snap (or plugins) get updated.

You could try suppressing the audit messages in your system journal by:

  1. Setting Audit=no in /etc/systemd/journald.conf and restarting systemd-journald
  2. Masking systemd-journald-audit.socket

But I'd just leave it.
