There's two separate issues here:
- audit records that contain the same field name twice for different
purposes in a single record. I think this happens in a couple of places
where uid or something like that is re-used. My preference would be to
consider this a bug in the audit generation that needs fixing, instead
of having the parser handle it. (As a side note, any remaining tag names
containing spaces should also be fixed...)
On the Side note issue, I am all for that, using a "space" when
"_"
should be just makes for alot of unnecessary parsing exceptions to skip
those lonely words.
Also, many audit records have what seems to me to be random symbols (ex.
, : ( ' ). If we get rid of those .. that would be great.
If that is something we want, I can create a patch to fix these
oddities. I believe those messages come from kernel.. right?
Are there any that come from audit userspace?
