Glad to hear that it's working for you now.

Typically, the '-w <path/filename>' syntax is to watch system files for modification, not so much to audit the execution of the command (like for power events, as you're doing). The way I audit reboot commands (among others) is:

-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S acct -S reboot -S sched_setparam -S sched_setscheduler -S setrlimit -S swapon -k reboot_sched_swap
-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S acct -S reboot -S sched_setparam -S sched_setscheduler -S setrlimit -S swapon -k reboot_sched_swap

and

-w /var/run/utmp -p wa -k session

This might not be sufficient for your needs, but hopefully it's helpful.

I found it out
auditctl -l did not list rule as loaded, I checked logs of auditd deeper and found it stopped loading rules at some point due to duplicated rule, after sorting that out, it loaded all rules correctly, sorry for trouble

I suspect you have another rule that is catching it first?
