Hello Experts,

We have a big customer that facing the following issue on RHEL 6.2.
As per customer request I've configured the following rules:

$ cat audit.rules
 
# This file contains the auditctl rules that are loaded
# whenever the audit daemon is started via the initscripts.
# The rules are simply the parameters that would be passed
# to auditctl.

# First rule - delete all
-D

# Increase the buffers to survive stress events.
# Make this bigger for busy systems
-b 320

# Feel free to add below this line. See auditctl man page

-a exit,always -F arch=b64 -F euid=0 -S execve -k rootact
-a exit,always -F arch=b32 -F euid=0 -S execve -k rootact
-a exit,always -F arch=b64 -F euid>=500 -S execve -k useract
-a exit,always -F arch=b32 -F euid>=500 -S execve -k useract

Audit start working as expected. Now customer is asking to exclude/ignore the following from audit logs:

type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1581664357.597:257516): arch=c000003e syscall=59 success=yes exit=0 a0=3869161ea3 a1=7ffd15530c20 a2=7ffd15534348 a3=3869617240 items=2 ppid=3350 pid=59266 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm="sh" exe="/bin/bash" key="rootact"

What would be the best way to exclude such audit?
Your help would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance & kind regards,
