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

       -au, --auth
              Report about authentication attempts

       -a, --avc
              Report about avc messages

       -c, --config
              Report about config changes

       -cr, --crypto
              Report about crypto events

       -e, --event
              Report about events

       -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

       --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
              Use  the given file 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.

       -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.

       -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,  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
              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, today, yesterday, this-week, this-month, this-year. 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). 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.
