NAME         top

       aureport - a tool that produces summary reports of audit daemon logs

SYNOPSIS         top

       aureport [options]

DESCRIPTION         top

       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         top

       -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
       --escape option
              This option determines if the output is escaped to make the
              content safer for certain uses. The options are raw , tty ,
              shell , and shell_quote. Each mode includes the characters of
              the preceding mode and escapes more characters. That is to say
              shell includes all characters escaped by tty and adds more.
              tty is the default.
       -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, boot, today,
              yesterday, this-week, week-ago, this-month, this-year. Now
              means starting now. Recent is 10 minutes ago. Boot means the
              time of day to the second when the system last booted. Today
              means now. 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, boot, today,
              yesterday, this-week, week-ago, this-month, this-year. Boot
              means the time of day to the second when the system last
              booted. 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
              Report about users
       -v, --version
              Print the version and exit
       --virt Report about Virtualization events
       -x, --executable
              Report about executables
