Hi all,
I am looking to do some real time parsing with audit. After some testing I
figured it would be easier to the parsing in a plugin on the local machine
and then send the parsed data to a remote machine for storage.
After reading the audit-parse.txt document I am not quite sure how to
proceed. Given that the plugin will receive data on stdin, how would I go
about setting the auparse library up (for example, what ausource_t should I
specify to initialise the auparse_state_t object) to enable real time
parsing?
There is an example plugin in the source distribution. You can see it here:
https://fedorahosted.org/audit/browser/trunk/contrib/plugin
The plugin provides a code skeleton and demonstration of how to move around
the events / records / fields. Other examples would be the prelude-plugin and
aulast utility.
