RE: ausearch on the fly

Hi, I should have read the man more carefully. I missed the point that --input can be a directory and not only a single file as I wrongly assumed. That solves any problems I had.

You may also want to consider having a central syslog directory structure that allows you to simulate the local directory structure (/var/log/audit) by having a revolving set of audit.log, audit.log.1, etc files and age them off to your raw archive once you have processed them. My preference is to enrich the logs via ausearch on the local host as this mitigates a number of risks (lost logs as per this discussion, local uids) and then send the results to a central log management capability.

I want to run this ausearch on the central log server, not on the original server. Very likely i need to specify the input file in that.
