audit_warn
AUDIT_WARN(5) BSD File Formats Manual AUDIT_WARN(5)
NAME
audit_warn -- alert when audit daemon issues warnings
DESCRIPTION
The audit_warn script runs when auditd(8) generates warning messages.
The default audit_warn is a script whose first parameter is the type of warning; the script appends its arguments to
/etc/security/audit_messages. Administrators may replace this script: a more comprehensive one would take different actions based on the
type of warning. For example, a low-space warning could result in an email message being sent to the administrator.
FILES
/etc/security/audit_warn
/etc/security/audit_messages
SEE ALSO
audit(4), auditd(8)
