Using syslog it seems straight forward to insert a new message , 'syslog (LOG_NOTICE, "Hello This is just a notice")' for instance.

Does this capability exist already in linux audit and I'm just not seeing it???

Is it a bad idea to build and then to insert a custom audit/message, or any standard audit, into the audit.log file?

If so are there any problems to look out for , e.g event id/sequence number collisions, auparse or ausearch problems, formatting issues to adhere to???

Thanks
