Running aureport gives me a lot of failed syscalls. How do I identify 
what syscalls are failing and what is calling them?

Thanks!

Aureport's purpose is to give summary information. Ausearch gives detailed 
information. To get what syscalls are failing, you can just run the "--syscall 
--summary" report. To se what is calling them is a bit trickier. You can 
isolate the events with ausearch and then pipe them to aureport for 
summarizing:

ausearch --start today -m syscall -sv no --raw | aureport -x --summary

If you need to seethe individual events, then 

ausearch --start today -m syscall -sv no -i
