AUREPORT(8) System Administration Utilities AUREPORT(8)
aureport - a tool that produces summary reports of audit daemon
logs
aureport [options]
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.
-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
--debug
Write malformed events that are skipped to stderr.
--eoe-timeout seconds
Set the end of event parsing timeout. See
end_of_event_timeout in auditd.conf(5) for details. Note
that setting this value will override any configured value
found in /etc/auditd/auditd.conf.
-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. The path
length is limited to 4064 bytes.
--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, this-hour, 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, this-hour, 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
The boot time option is a convenience function and has
limitations. The time it calculates is based on time now minus
/proc/uptime. If after boot the system clock has been adjusted,
perhaps by ntp, then the calculation may be wrong. In that case
you'll need to fully specify the time. You can check the time it
would use by running:
date -d "`cut -f1 -d. /proc/uptime` seconds ago"
ausearch(8), auditd(8), auditd.conf(5).
