I would like to know how I can read the auditd log files stored in /var/log/audit.d.
I have a problem where the auditd system seems to go haywire, fills the /var filesystem up to its maximum allowed 80% and then starts to try and delete the old log files but the /var filesystem keeps filling up, at which point it ceases execution and then I have SysEdge reporting a massive CPU load and the whole server locks up. I believe the auditd system's behavior is symptomatic, rather than the cause of the problem. I note that the auditd log files are in some binary format. Is there a means to read them? cheers Brian Ross Technical Consultant ASG Group Limited Level 1 / 267 St Georges Tce.
