NAME
audispd.conf - the audit event dispatcher configuration file
DESCRIPTION
audispd.conf is the file that controls the configuration of the audit
event dispatcher. The options that are available are as follows:
q_depth
This is a numeric value that tells how big to make the internal
queue of the audit event dispatcher. A bigger queue lets it han-
dle a flood of events better, but could hold events that are not
processed when the daemon is terminated. If you get messages in
syslog about events getting dropped, increase this value. The
default value is 80.
overflow_action
This option determines how the daemon should react to overflow-
ing its internal queue. When this happens, it means that more
events are being received than it can get rid of. This error
means that it is going to lose the current event its trying to
dispatch. It has the following choices: ignore, syslog, suspend,
single, and halt. If set to ignore, the audisp daemon does
nothing. syslog means that it will issue a warning to syslog.
suspend will cause the audisp daemon to stop processing events.
The daemon will still be alive. The single option will cause the
audisp daemon to put the computer system in single user mode.
halt option will cause the audisp daemon to shutdown the com-
puter system.
priority_boost
This is a non-negative number that tells the audit event dis-
patcher how much of a priority boost it should take. This boost
is in addition to the boost provided from the audit daemon. The
default is 4. No change is 0.
max_restarts
This is a non-negative number that tells the audit event dis-
patcher how many times it can try to restart a crashed plugin.
The default is 10.
name_format
This option controls how computer node names are inserted into
the audit event stream. It has the following choices: none,
hostname, fqd, numeric, and user. None means that no computer
name is inserted into the audit event. hostname is the name
returned by the gethostname syscall. The fqd means that it takes
the hostname and resolves it with dns for a fully qualified
domain name of that machine. Numeric is similar to fqd except
it resolves the IP address of the machine. User is an admin
defined string from the name option. The default value is none.
name This is the admin defined string that identifies the machine if
user is given as the name_format option.
