It's not dependant on auditd. The kernel itself decides if a rule is valid.
One option would be to use audit_add_rule_data to add a temporary
path
based rule and check if it is successful, but this won't work when auditd
is running in immutable mode.
Any other way which does not require checking versions of Kernel or
Distribution?
If you are looking to see if this is supported
-a always,exclude -F exec=/usr/bin/ls
then it can be detected by:
uint32_t features = audit_get_features();
if ((features & AUDIT_FEATURE_BITMAP_EXCLUDE_EXTEND) == 0)
puts("not supported");
else
puts("supported");
