NAME
       aureport - a tool that produces summary reports of audit daemon logs

SYNOPSIS
       aureport [options]

DESCRIPTION
       aureport  is a tool that produces summary reports of the audit system logs. The aureport utility can also take input from
       stdin as long as the input is the raw log data. The reports have a column label at the top to help with interpretation of
       the  various  fields.  Except  for the main summary report, all reports have the audit event number. You can subsequently
       lookup the full event with ausearch -a event number. You may need to specify start & stop times if you get multiple hits.
       The reports produced by aureport can be used as building blocks for more complicated analysis.


OPTIONS
       -au, --auth
              Report about authentication attempts

       -a, --avc
              Report about avc messages

       -c, --config
              Report about config changes

       -cr, --crypto
              Report about crypto events

       -e, --event
              Report about events

       -f, --file
              Report about files

       --failed
              Only select failed events for processing in the reports. The default is both success and failed events.

       -h, --host
              Report about hosts

       --help Print brief command summary

       -i, --interpret
              Interpret   numeric   entities  into  text.  For example, uid is converted to account name. The conversion is done
              using the current resources  of  the machine where the search is being run. If you have renamed the  accounts,  or
              don't have the  same  accounts  on your machine, you could get misleading results.

       -if, --input file
              Use  the given file instead if the logs. This is to aid analysis where the logs have been moved to another machine
              or only part of a log was saved.

       --input-logs
              Use the log file location from auditd.conf as input for analysis. This is needed if you are using aureport from  a
              cron job.

       -k, --key
              Report about audit rule keys

       -l, --login
              Report about logins

       -m, --mods
              Report about account modifications

       -ma, --mac
              Report about Mandatory Access Control (MAC) events

       -n, --anomaly
              Report about anomaly events. These events include NIC going into promiscuous mode and programs segfaulting.

       --node node-name
              Only  select events originating from node name string for processing in the reports. The default is to include all
              nodes. Multiple nodes are allowed.

       -p, --pid
              Report about processes

       -r, --response
              Report about responses to anomaly events

       -s, --syscall
              Report about syscalls

       --success
              Only select successful events for processing in the reports. The default is both success and failed events.

       --summary
              Run the summary report that gives a total of the elements of the main report. Not all reports have a summary.

       -t, --log
              This option will output a report of the start and end times for each log.

       --tty  Report about tty keystrokes

       -te, --end [end-date] [end-time]
              Search for events with time stamps equal to or before the given end time. The format of end time depends  on  your
              locale.  If  the date is omitted, today is assumed. If the time is omitted, now is assumed. Use 24 hour clock time
              rather than AM or PM to specify time. An example date using the en_US.utf8 locale is  09/03/2009.  An  example  of
              time is 18:00:00. The date format accepted is influenced by the LC_TIME environmental variable.

              You  may also use the word: now, recent, today, yesterday, this-week, week-ago, this-month, this-year. Today means
              starting now. Recent is 10 minutes ago. Yesterday is 1 second after midnight the  previous  day.  This-week  means
              starting  1 second after midnight on day 0 of the week determined by your locale (see localtime). This-month means
              1 second after midnight on day 1 of the month. This-year means the 1 second after midnight on the first day of the
              first month.

       -tm, --terminal
              Report about terminals

       -ts, --start [start-date] [start-time]
              Search  for  events  with time stamps equal to or after the given end time. The format of end time depends on your
              locale. If the date is omitted, today is assumed. If the time is omitted, midnight is assumed. Use 24  hour  clock
              time  rather  than AM or PM to specify time. An example date using the en_US.utf8 locale is 09/03/2009. An example
              of time is 18:00:00. The date format accepted is influenced by the LC_TIME environmental variable.

              You may also use the word: now, recent, today, yesterday, this-week, this-month, this-year. Today  means  starting
              at  1  second  after  midnight.  Recent  is 10 minutes ago. Yesterday is 1 second after midnight the previous day.
              This-week means starting 1 second after midnight on day 0 of the week determined by your locale  (see  localtime).
              This-month means 1 second after midnight on day 1 of the month. This-year means the 1 second after midnight on the
              first day of the first month.

       -u, --user
              Report about users

       -v, --version
              Print the version and exit
