Solaris auditing (file access logging) for specific directory only.
Hello,
We need to log the operations that specific user on Solaris 10 (SPARC) is performing on one directory and it's contents. I was able to configure solaris auditing service (auditd) and it works fine. The only problem is that auditd logs huge amount of unneeded information. We need to log ONLY the access to specific directory and it's subdirectories and files. The operations that we need to log are:
read / write, rename, propchange and create / delete. I was not able to find any documentation on how to do that, so my questions are:
Is is possible ?
and
How to do that if possible ?

Thank you in advance for your help.

tomoyo-auditd
TOMOYO-AUDITD(8) System Administration Utilities TOMOYO-AUDITD(8)
NAME
tomoyo-auditd - access request log recording daemon for TOMOYO Linux
SYNOPSIS
tomoyo-auditd
tomoyo-auditd [remote_ip:remote_port]
DESCRIPTION
This program reads access request logs from the kernel and writes to the locations specified in the configuration file. By running this
program at startup, access request logs for either all domains or selected domains can be stored.
The format of the stored logs is similar to domain policy, so they can be used to help develop policy.
Configure this daemon in /etc/tomoyo/tools/auditd.conf. If an access request matches a rule, it will be written to the specified log file.
This can be used to split access request logs into multiple files. Only the first matching rule is used, so any single access request log
will be written to a maximum of one output file. If an access request log does not match any rules, it will be discarded.
Start this program from an appropriate stage during startup (e.g. /etc/rc.local).
OPTIONS
remote_ip:remote_port
Retrieve access request logs from a remote system via an agent, connecting to the specified IP address and port number.
