Excluding stat syscall logging for specific path

Hi, When playing/learning with auditd, I wanted to log events when apache fails to access file. Here's the rules I used in Debian Wheezy (same on Jessie and and current latest Testing): -a exit,never -F arch=b64 -S stat -F path=/var/www/server-status -k web -a exit,always -F arch=b64 -S stat -F uid=www-data -F success=0 -k web /var/www/server-status file is non-existant, it's just alias for accessing mod_status information ( http://.../server-status path is accessed by munin regularly) so I wanted to minimise noise by that exit,never rule. But I can't get it work. I have more in-depth post in Debian forums [1] if that helps, but in short, should this work in general? Thanks! [1] http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=128092
