Below is the content of /etc/audit/auditd.conf file # # This file controls the configuration of the audit daemon # log_file = /var/log/audit/audit.log log_format = RAW priority_boost = 3 flush = INCREMENTAL freq = 20 num_logs = 4 dispatcher = /sbin/audispd disp_qos = lossy max_log_file = 30 max_log_file_action = ROTATE space_left = 75 #space_left_action = SYSLOG space_left_action = email action_mail_acct = scook@xxxxxxxx admin_space_left = 50 admin_space_left_action = SUSPEND disk_full_action = SUSPEND disk_error_action = SUSPEND No output in /var/log/audit/audit.log? No entry gets logged into /var/log/audit/audit.log BTW I forgot to mention this in my earlier emails...sorry....sorry, I hope this might help. Audit used to work and stopped working, this is the sequence of events happened before audit stopped. 1. I set SELinux to disabled (I think, no sure about permissive), since apache and java app was causing lot of issues while startup. To debug this issue I had to disable selinux. 2. Finally I figured it was something else that caused apache and java app errors. 3. Then I enabled SELinux and created /.autorelabel and rebooted it. When I was going through system check list then I found out that audit was starting.

I once manually ran fixfiles. When did I run this? I don't remember the sequence.
