Overview of the auditing subsystem

Setting auditing parameters

Settable parameters for auditing are found in the /etc/default/audit file. This file contains the following parameters:


AUDIT_LOGERR
The value of this parameter controls the action taken if there is any error involving the auditing subsystem.

AUDIT_LOGFULL
The value of this parameter controls the action taken when the audit event log file becomes full.

AUDIT_PGM
This parameter defines the absolute path name to an executable file that will be executed every time a switch to a different log file occurs.

AUDIT_DEFPATH
This parameter defines the absolute path name of the directory for the audit event log files. The value for this parameter upon initial installation is /var/audit.

AUDIT_NODE
This parameter defines the node name to be appended to the system generated audit event log file name.
``Configuring auditing'' provides detailed instructions on how to set the values of these parameters.
