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 spec‐
ify 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 aure‐
port from a cron job.
-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 seg‐
faulting.
--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
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
Report about users
-v, --version
Print the version and exit
--virt Report about Virtualization events
-x, --executable
Report about executables
