NAME

6       audisp-syslog - plugin to push audit events into syslog
7

SYNOPSIS

9       audisp-syslog [ OPTIONS ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       audisp-syslog  is  a  plugin  for the audit event dispatcher that wraps
13       audit events back around to syslog. It can be passed three options: one
14       which  is  the  syslog  facility, one that is the syslog level that all
15       events are logged with, and one that determines  if  events  should  be
16       interpreted.  Valid  facilities  are  LOG_LOCAL0  through  7, LOG_AUTH,
17       LOG_AUTHPRIV, LOG_DAEMON, LOG_SYSLOG, and LOG_USER.  Valid  levels  are
18       LOG_DEBUG  through  LOG_EMERG.  Setting  these  options  is done in the
19       /etc/audit/syslog.conf file on the args line.
20
21       If it is desired that events are interpreted, add the word interpret to
22       the  args line. This will cause all events to be interpreted. The draw‐
23       back to this approach is that naive parsers can be tricked by an adver‐
24       sary  that has the ability to name files, processes, or other user con‐
25       trolled objects.
26
27       If you are aggregating multiple machines, you should  edit  auditd.conf
28       to  set  the  name_format to something meaningful and the log_format to
29       enriched. This way you can tell where the event came from and have  the
30       user  name  and  groups  resolved  locally before it is sent off of the
31       machine.
