NAME
audit_event - audit event definition and class mapping
SYNOPSIS
/etc/security/audit_eventDESCRIPTION
/etc/security/audit_event is a user-configurable ASCII system file
that stores event definitions used in the audit system. As part of
this definition, each event is mapped to one or more of the audit
classes defined in
audit_class(5). Programs can use the
getauevent(3BSM) routines to access audit event information.
The fields for each event entry are separated by colons. Each event
is separated from the next by a NEWLINE.Each entry in the audit_event
file has the form:
number:
name:
description:
flags The fields are defined as follows:
number Event number.
Event number ranges are assigned as follows:
0 Reserved as an invalid event number.
1-2047 Reserved for the Solaris Kernel events.
2048-32767 Reserved for the Solaris TCB programs.
32768-65535 Available for third party TCB
applications.
System administrators must
not add,
delete, or modify (except to change the
class mapping), events with an event
number less than
32768. These events
are reserved by the system.
name Event name.
description Event description.
flags Flags specifying classes to which the event is mapped.
Classes are comma separated, without spaces.
Obsolete events are commonly assigned to the special
class
no (invalid) to indicate they are no longer
generated. Obsolete events are retained to process old
audit trail files. Other events which are not obsolete
may also be assigned to the
no class.
