Subject: How to track process invocation history using audit
Date: Mon, 20 Jun 2011 17:51:10 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <BANLkTikdGQZe_kYaRJs=PQZk9dTYnbFdMg@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I tried to track what process launches what other programs using audit
mechanism.
Then, I want to write up a tree diagram using audit logs eventually.

However, the auditctl does not work as I expected.

I tried to track all the fork(2) system call to record relationship
between ppid and pid
on processes with a particular loginuid.

  [root@ls3029v0 ~]# auditctl -a task,always -F arch=b64 -S fork -F auid=1234
  Error: syscall auditing being added to task list

But, it does not works.
I also tried to use 'exit' list, but it seems to me the following rule
is ignored.
(tail -f /var/log/audit/audit.log does not report anything)

  [root@ls3029v0 ~]# auditctl -a exit,always -F arch=b64 -S fork

What is the best way to track process invocation history using audit mechanism?

Thanks,
