NAME

       audisp-remote - plugin for remote logging

SYNOPSIS

       audisp-remote

DESCRIPTION

       audisp-remote is a plugin for the audit event dispatcher daemon, audispd, that preforms remote logging to
       an aggregate logging server.

TIPS

       If  you  are aggregating multiple machines, you should enable node information and enriched events in the
       audit event stream. You can do this in one of two places. If you want computer node names written to disk
       as well as sent in the realtime event stream, edit the name_format option in /etc/audit/auditd.conf. This
       is the best option for enriched events. If you only want the node names in  the  realtime  event  stream,
       then  edit  the  name_format option in /etc/audisp/audispd.conf. Do not enable both as it will put 2 node
       fields in the event stream.

SIGNALS

       SIGUSR1
              Causes the audisp-remote program to write the value of some of its internal flags to  syslog.  The
              suspend  flag tells whether or not logging has been suspended. The remote_ended flage tells if the
              connection was broken by the server saying it  can't  log  events.  The  transport_ok  flag  tells
              whether  or  not  the  connection  to  the remote server is healthy. The queue_size tells how many
              records are enqueued to be sent to the remote server.

       SIGUSR2
              Causes the audisp-remote program to resume logging if it were suspended due to an error.
