A long time ago, the kernel only produced one PATH record. So, aureport printed one PATH record. Ausearch and Aureport share the same record parser. At some point in the past, it was decided that we are going to get multiple PATH records that describe different things about the event. So, work was done in the parser to locate all of the pieces for searching. But work was not done on the aureport file report. So, what you are seing is the first PATH record which is the directory. > I have another entry where the inode is present but the name is (null). > > ausearch -if $LOGDIR -a 448425 -i > NOTE - using logs in /qdap01/tax/logs/audit.log > ---- > type=PATH msg=audit(02/27/2017 13:50:14.862:448425) : item=1 name=(null) > inode=6581 dev=fd:33 mode=file,777 ouid=akatekar ogid=mfradmin rdev=00:00 > nametype=NORMAL type=PATH msg=audit(02/27/2017 13:50:14.862:448425) : > item=0 name=/qdap01/tax/data/seqfiles/DFS/ inode=2 dev=fd:33 mode=dir,770 > ouid=mfradmin ogid=mfradmin rdev=00:00 nametype=PARENT type=CWD > msg=audit(02/27/2017 13:50:14.862:448425) : > cwd=/qdap01/tax/users/akatekar/mbmwk/1488225013.635 type=SYSCALL > msg=audit(02/27/2017 13:50:14.862:448425) : arch=i386 syscall=open > success=yes exit=5 a0=0x914552a a1=O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC a2=0777 a3=0x0 > items=2 ppid=677 pid=803 auid=rmoroncelli uid=akatekar gid=mfradmin > euid=akatekar suid=akatekar fsuid=akatekar egid=mfradmin sgid=mfradmin > fsgid=mfradmin tty=(none) ses=219531 comm=IEBGENER > exe=/qdap01/tax/ebmnode/bpe12.7.9/public/utilm/IEBGENER key=DFS_DATA > > ausearch -if $LOGDIR -a 448425 --raw | aureport -i -f > NOTE - using logs in /qdap01/tax/logs/audit.log > > File Report > =============================================== > # date time file syscall success exe auid event > =============================================== > 1. 02/27/2017 13:50:14 /qdap01/tax/data/seqfiles/DFS/ open yes > /qdap01/tax/ebmnode/bpe12.7.9/public/utilm/IEBGENER rmoroncelli 448425 > > Why is this coming as null for item1? I couldn't tell you the exact reason, but its something along the lines of the name was not available. You might say, isn't the name one of the parameters passed to the open syscall? And I'd say yep. Maybe one of these days it will get used when path name resolution fails. > Another entry has a rename SYSCALL, which comes out > > ausearch -if $LOGDIR -a 448427 -i > NOTE - using logs in /qdap01/tax/logs/audit.log > ---- > type=PATH msg=audit(02/27/2017 13:50:14.939:448427) : item=3 > name=/qdap01/tax/data/seqfiles/DFS/PPDFA.PSCM1.TESTAK.GDG_08 inode=6703 > dev=fd:33 mode=file,777 ouid=akatekar ogid=mfradmin rdev=00:00 > nametype=CREATE type=PATH msg=audit(02/27/2017 13:50:14.939:448427) : > item=2 name=/qdap01/tax/data/seqfiles/DFS/PPDFA.PSCM1.TESTAK.GDG_07 > inode=6703 dev=fd:33 mode=file,777 ouid=akatekar ogid=mfradmin rdev=00:00 > nametype=DELETE type=PATH msg=audit(02/27/2017 13:50:14.939:448427) : > item=1 name=/qdap01/tax/data/seqfiles/DFS/ inode=2 dev=fd:33 mode=dir,770 > ouid=mfradmin ogid=mfradmin rdev=00:00 nametype=PARENT type=PATH > msg=audit(02/27/2017 13:50:14.939:448427) : item=0 > name=/qdap01/tax/data/seqfiles/DFS/ inode=2 dev=fd:33 mode=dir,770 > ouid=mfradmin ogid=mfradmin rdev=00:00 nametype=PARENT type=CWD > msg=audit(02/27/2017 13:50:14.939:448427) : > cwd=/qdap01/tax/users/akatekar/mbmwk/1488225013.635 type=SYSCALL > msg=audit(02/27/2017 13:50:14.939:448427) : arch=i386 syscall=rename > success=yes exit=0 a0=0xfff3b160 a1=0xfff3ad60 a2=0x7 a3=0xfff3b160 > items=4 > ppid=840 pid=843 auid=rmoroncelli uid=akatekar gid=mfradmin euid=akatekar > suid=akatekar fsuid=akatekar egid=mfradmin sgid=mfradmin fsgid=mfradmin > tty=(none) ses=219531 comm=gdgen > exe=/qdap01/tax/ebmnode/bpe12.7.9/public/utilm/gdgen key=DFS_DATA > > > ausearch -if $LOGDIR -a 448427 -r | aureport -i -f > NOTE - using logs in /qdap01/tax/logs/audit.log > > File Report > =============================================== > # date time file syscall success exe auid event > =============================================== > 1. 02/27/2017 13:50:14 /qdap01/tax/data/seqfiles/DFS/ rename yes > /qdap01/tax/ebmnode/bpe12.7.9/public/utilm/gdgen rmoroncelli 448427 > > How can we get both the filenames (in item3 and item2) in the aureport? Aureport has never supported that. I'd say that perhaps it should be changed to skip parent records if the other ones don't have (null).
