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

TagDescription
-au, --auth
  Report about authentication attempts
-a, --avc Report about avc messages
-c, --config
  Report about config changes
-cr, --crypto

-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
-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
--node node-name
  Only select events originating from node name string for processing in the reports. The default is to include all nodes.
-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 is 10/24/2005. An example of time is 18:00:00.

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

-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 is 10/24/2005. An example of time is 18:00:00.

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 10 minutes ago.
