NAME¶
aureport - a tool that produces summary reports of audit daemon logs
SYNOPSIS¶
aureport [
options]
DESCRIPTION¶
aureport is a tool that produces summary reports of the audit system
logs. The aureport utility can also take input from stdin as long as the input
is the raw log data. The reports have a column label at the top to help with
interpretation of the various fields. Except for the main summary report, all
reports have the audit event number. You can subsequently lookup the full
event with ausearch
-a event number. You may need to specify
start & stop times if you get multiple hits. The reports produced by
aureport can be used as building blocks for more complicated analysis.
OPTIONS¶
- -au, --auth
- Report about authentication attempts
- -a, --avc
- Report about avc messages
- -c, --config
- Report about config changes
- -cr, --crypto
- Report about crypto events
- -e, --event
- Report about events
- -f, --file
- Report about files
- --failed
- Only select failed events for processing in the reports.
The default is both success and failed events.
- -h, --host
- Report about hosts
- --help
- Print brief command summary
- -i, --interpret
- Interpret numeric entities into text. For example, uid is
converted to account name. The conversion is done using the current
resources of the machine where the search is being run. If you have
renamed the accounts, or don't have the same accounts on your machine, you
could get misleading results.
- -if, --input file
- Use the given file instead if the logs. This is to
aid analysis where the logs have been moved to another machine or only
part of a log was saved.
- --input-logs
- Use the log file location from auditd.conf as input for
analysis. This is needed if you are using aureport from a cron job.
- -k, --key
- Report about audit rule keys
- -l, --login
- Report about logins
- -m, --mods
- Report about account modifications
- -ma, --mac
- Report about Mandatory Access Control (MAC) events
- -n, --anomaly
- Report about anomaly events. These events include NIC going
into promiscuous mode and programs segfaulting.
- --node node-name
- Only select events originating from node name string
for processing in the reports. The default is to include all nodes.
Multiple nodes are allowed.
- -p, --pid
- Report about processes
- -r, --response
- Report about responses to anomaly events
- -s, --syscall
- Report about syscalls
- --success
- Only select successful events for processing in the
reports. The default is both success and failed events.
- --summary
- Run the summary report that gives a total of the elements
of the main report. Not all reports have a summary.
- -t, --log
- This option will output a report of the start and end times
for each log.
- --tty
- Report about tty keystrokes
- -te, --end [end-date] [end-time]
- Search for events with time stamps equal to or before the
given end time. The format of end time depends on your locale. If the date
is omitted, today is assumed. If the time is omitted, now is
assumed. Use 24 hour clock time rather than AM or PM to specify time. An
example date using the en_US.utf8 locale is 09/03/2009. An example of time
is 18:00:00. The date format accepted is influenced by the LC_TIME
environmental variable.
You may also use the word: now, recent, today,
yesterday, this-week, week-ago, this-month,
this-year. Today means starting now. Recent is 10
minutes ago. Yesterday is 1 second after midnight the previous day.
This-week means starting 1 second after midnight on day 0 of the
week determined by your locale (see localtime). This-month
means 1 second after midnight on day 1 of the month. This-year
means the 1 second after midnight on the first day of the first
month.
- -tm, --terminal
- Report about terminals
- -ts, --start [start-date] [start-time]
- Search for events with time stamps equal to or after the
given end time. The format of end time depends on your locale. If the date
is omitted, today is assumed. If the time is omitted,
midnight is assumed. Use 24 hour clock time rather than AM or PM to
specify time. An example date using the en_US.utf8 locale is 09/03/2009.
An example of time is 18:00:00. The date format accepted is influenced by
the LC_TIME environmental variable.
You may also use the word: now, recent, today,
yesterday, this-week, this-month, this-year.
Today means starting at 1 second after midnight. Recent is

day. This-week means starting 1 second after midnight on day 0 of
the week determined by your locale (see localtime).
This-month means 1 second after midnight on day 1 of the month.
