OSB - Accessing Operational Settings within Proxy Service

Question

Does anyone know if it is possible to access Operation Settings from within a Proxy Service?
The use case is instead of logging, we perform auditing by inserting into a database. In certain environments, we would like to turn this off. I would like to reuse the Logs logging level field to decide whether or not to audit.
So the message flow would have if (auditLevel = 'Warning') then BusinessService callout for auditing.
Doing it this way lets operations choose whether or not to audit, instead of making code changes in different environments to choose whether or not to audit.

Few months back I was also working on a similar requirement where client did not want to go for OSB configuration change (and even update) for changing the log levels or start auditing. After researching a little bit, we implemented java callout which used to read a property file and provide the value of auditing flag at runtime. We also created a java utility which used to clear the cache of server (because server loads & caches the property file after each restart). So whenever we have to make a change in auditing flag, we just change the value in property file and clear the cache of the server. This makes the fresh copy of property file available in server cache and OSB java callout picks the same.
It was quite complex but the only better solution we could find. Please let us know if you get something better.
