So, since you haven't indicated if you have tried and tested this
already, please start by running those simple commands while the auditd
service is running and verifying that those commands do get logged as
expected. If they don't, fix that first.
I was wondering if the events are delivered to syslog
(/var/log/messages) instead while the auditd is down?
Mine are, same kernel version 3.10.0. From the kernel perspective, no
backlog?. However, if I stop both audit and rsyslog, add some events the
backlog count doesn't increase and I can't see where the events may have
been delivered.
