Hi,

Thanks for the reply! However, the problem isn't that we're not
receiving an emailed alert from the OSSEC manager; we've got OSSEC
configured to send events to a MySQL database and then pass the
database on to another tool which pulls and tickets events, which
works fine for all other events and rules. The problem is that the
"audit log cleared" log entry isn't even making it into the MySQL
database. As far as I can tell, the agent isn't picking it up on the
client end - watching via Wireshark, there's no indication of any
communication between the agent and the manager for that specific log
entry, even though if I generate other events, there's immediately
communication, and the other events arrive in the MySQL database. If I
turn on debugging, there's also no sign in the OSSEC log to indicate
that the agent is finding the "audit log cleared" entry, or trying to
communicate with the manager regarding the event.

So the problem appears to be that the OSSEC agent can't see the
Windows log event "audit log cleared" when it's generated into the
log, and therefore the entry never gets passed on to the manager to
fire rule 18118.

Hope that clears things up!

Thanks again for your help,
-Alisha
