The system runs WebLogic Server and we want to know if anyone is trying to poke around sensitive system files, such as the domain configuration file, encryption salt, http://serverfault.com/questions/691300/auditd-is-not-logging-events-for-some-watched-files et cetera. In some cases on some systems in the past, this worked as expected, but recently it has not, and I am at my wits' end trying to figure out why. So I am going against my nature and seeking outside assistance with this issue. Relevant data points and possible leads I have been investigating: We recently picked up an updated system image with a new kernel version. The system image is OEL5 (essentialy RHEL5/CentOS 5) When I reboot the system, it only loads a minimal ruleset: # auditctl -l LIST_RULES: exit,always dir=/etc/audit (0xa) perm=wa key=auditsys LIST_RULES: exit,always dir=/var/log/audit (0xe) perm=wa key=auditsys Despite the full rules file still being in place. When I try to restart the audit daemon (service auditd restart), I get the following error message: Error sending add rule data request (No such file or directory) There was an error in line 30 of /etc/audit/audit.rules which turns out to be because one of the files we have told it to watch does not exist yet. I resolve this by creating the file manually, and repeat for every subsequent error. It seems to me therefore that one cannot have the audit daemo

We can track security-relevant events, record the events in a log file, and detect misuse or unauthorized activities by inspecting the audit log files. We can choose which actions on the server to monitor and to what extent. Audit does not provide additional security to your system, rather, it helps track any violations of system policies and enables you to take additional security failed to start measures to prevent them. This tutorial explains the audit system, how to configure it, how to generate reports, and how to read these reports. We will also see how to search the audit logs for specific events. Prerequisites For this tutorial, you need the following: CentOS 7 Droplet (works with CentOS 6 as well) Non-root user with sudo privileges. To setup a user of this type, follow the Initial Server Setup with CentOS 7 tutorial. All commands will be run as this user. Verifying the Audit Installation There are two main parts to the audit system: The audit kernel component intercepts system calls from user applications, records events, and sends these audit messages to the audit daemon The auditd daemon collects the information from the kernel and creates entries in a log file The audit system uses the following packages: audit and audit-libs. These packages are installed by default on a new CentOS 7 Droplet (and a new CentOS 6 Droplet). It is good to verify that you have them installed on your server using:
- sudo yum list audit audit-libs You should see both the packages under Installed Packages in the output: Installed Pac
