File Formats audit.log(4) NAME audit.log - audit trail file SYNOPSIS #include #include DESCRIPTION audit.log files are the depository for audit records stored locally or on an on an NFS-mounted audit server. These files are kept in directories named in the file audit_control(4) using the dir option. They are named to reflect the time they are created and are, when possible, renamed to reflect the time they are closed as well. The name takes the form yyyymmddhhmmss.not_terminated.hostname when open or if the auditd(1M) terminated ungracefully, and the form yyyymmddhhmmss.yyyymmddhhmmss.hostname when properly closed. yyyy is the year, mm the month, dd day in the month, hh hour in the day, mm minute in the hour, and ss second in the minute. All fields are of fixed width. Audit data is generated in the binary format described below; the default for Solaris audit is binary format. See audit_syslog(5) for an alternate data format. The audit.log file begins with a standalone file token and typically ends with one also. The beginning file token records the pathname of the previous audit file, while the ending file token records the pathname of the next audit file. If the file name is NULL the appropriate path was una- vailable. The audit.log files contains audit records. Each audit record is made up of audit tokens. Each record contains a header token followed by various data tokens. Depending on the audit policy in place by auditon(2), optional other tokens such as trailers or sequences may be included. The tokens are defined as follows: The file token consists of: token ID 1 byte seconds of time 4 bytes microseconds of time 4 bytes file name length 2 bytes file pathname N bytes + 1 terminating NULL byte The header token consists of: token ID 1 byte record byte count 4 bytes version #
