NAME

       audisp-remote - plugin for remote logging

SYNOPSIS

       audisp-remote

DESCRIPTION

       audisp-remote  is  a  plugin  for the audit event dispatcher that performs remote logging to an aggregate
       logging server.

TIPS

       If you are aggregating multiple machines, you should edit auditd.conf to set the name_format to something
       meaningful and the log_format to enriched. This way you can tell where the event came from and  have  the
       user name and groups resolved locally before it is sent off of the machine.

SIGNALS

       SIGUSR1
              Causes  the  audisp-remote program to write the value of some of its internal flags to syslog. The
              suspend flag tells whether or not logging has been suspended. The remote_ended flag tells  if  the
              connection  was  broken  by  the  server  saying  it can't log events. The transport_ok flag tells
              whether or not the connection to the remote server is  healthy.  The  queue_size  tells  how  many
              records are enqueued to be sent to the remote server.

       SIGUSR2
              Causes the audisp-remote program to resume logging if it were suspended due to an error.
