 In the midst of discussing sending audit logs from a Red Hat CoreOS

 some central audit collection and evaluation tool, the question came up
 about using audispd instead of Daemonsets. Daemonsets are what is planned
 for OpenShift. As I understand it, the general principle is to allow
 auditing to flow through the subsystem, but does it need to flow through
 the entire auditing workflow?  
I'd say that if you ask 10 people on this list, you may find 10 different ways 
they are doing it. It really depends on your requirements. Some places care 
that you don't mix security officer and system admin roles. (Security Officer may 
have a system admin under investigation.) In that case, you have to keep the 
logs separate and this is likely to a MLS system. Other, less demanding 
sites, don't care because they are one in the same. They send audit logs into 
syslog and then pick it apart later. And then there are some tools that have 
their own audisp plugin and transport the logs themselves.
 Can a Daemonset be used instead of audispd, or are there reasons
audispd
 should be used over a Daemonset that some of us just aren't aware of? 
Entirely up to the system architect and their security requirements.
