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
--comm Report about commands run
-c, --config
Report about config changes
-cr, --crypto
Report about crypto events
-e, --event
Report about events
-f, --file
Report about files and af_unix sockets
--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 | directory
Use the given file or directory instead of 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.
--integrity
Report about integrity events
-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.
-nc, --no-config
Do not include the CONFIG_CHANGE event. This is particularly
useful for the key report because audit rules have key labels in
many cases. Using this option gets rid of these false positives.
-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). Week-ago means 1 second after midnight exactly
7 days ago. 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, week-ago, this-month, this-year. Today means starting
at 1 second after midnight. 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). Week-ago means starting 1 second
after midnight exactly 7 days ago. 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.
-u, --user

--virt Report about Virtualization events
-x, --executable
