I can't get syslog built-in plugin to post messages to syslog.
My syslog.conf plugin file is:
active = yes
direction = out
path = builtin_syslog
type = builtin
args = LOG_INFO LOG_LOCAL3
format = string
Presumably the file is indeed being parsed by the user-space audit daemon,
as after having changed 'active' to 'yes' (and restarted the system), I
see
the audit daemon has started up the child process audispd, as required.
The audit daemon is indeed logging the audit logs to
/var/log/audit/audit.log, but is not also sending them to syslog as
configured.

Turns out that you can pass the priority, but not the facility. So, your
events are wherever the LOG_USER facility is sending them. This probably
should be documented better.
