NAME

       audisp-prelude.conf - the audisp-prelude configuration file

DESCRIPTION

       audisp-prelude.conf  is  the  file that controls the configuration of the audit based intrusion detection
       system. There are 2 general kinds of configuration option  types,  enablers  and  actions.  The  enablers
       simply have yes/no as the only valid choices.

       The action options currently allow ignore, and idmef as its choices. The ignore option means that the IDS
       still  detects  events, but only logs the detection in response. The idmef option means that the IDS will
       send an IDMEF alert to the prelude manager upon detection.

       The configuration options that are available are as follows:

       profile
              This is a one word character string that is used to identify  the  profile  name  in  the  prelude
              reporting tools. The default is auditd.

       detect_avc
              This an enabler that determines if the IDS should be examining SE Linux AVC events. The default is
              yes.

       avc_action
