Are there any future plans to support enabling audit from non root user
using CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL?
You are the only person who has asked for it. I suppose it can be done in a
couple lines of code. But you still have the permissions of the directories
that hold the rules to correct. Easy to fix, but I think you might be fighting
the distribution's package manager which would set things back to root every
update.
Regarding suppression of events, I will do some testing and let you
know
later.
Is there a way I can avoid default logging of the audit events to
/var/log/audit/audit.log?
If you have an old copy old the audit system (2.5.1 or earlier) then use
log_format = NOLOG. If you have a current copy, then use write_logs = no.

I do not want audit to log audit events to
audit.log, however I will capture them using my plug-in. Is there a way I
can accomplish this? I tried to commenting the log_file filed from
auditd.conf, however the events are still written to audit.log. I think
below code from auditd-config.c is causing audit to write to audit.log
config->log_file = strdup("/var/log/audit/audit.log");
