Hi,
I should have read the man more carefully.
I missed the point that --input can be a directory and not only a single file 
as I wrongly assumed.
That solves any problems I had.

Phillipe,

To close this off, yes, you will need to investigate making use of the --input 
option.  You
may also want to consider having a central syslog directory structure that 
allows you to simulate the local directory structure (/var/log/audit)
by having a revolving set of audit.log, audit.log.1, etc files and age them off 
to your raw archive once you have processed them.

My preference is to enrich the logs via ausearch on the local host as this 
mitigates a number of risks (lost logs as per this discussion, local uids)
and then send the results to a central log management capability.

Regards
Burn

Hi,
I should have been more precise in my question.
I want to run this ausearch on the central log server, not on the original 
server.
Very likely i need to specify the input file in that.
And this input file would need to be rotated outside auditd
