NAME

       audispd.conf - the audit event dispatcher configuration file

DESCRIPTION

       audispd.conf is the file that controls the configuration of the audit event dispatcher. The options that are available are as follows:

       q_depth
	      This is a numeric value that tells how big to make the internal queue of the audit event dispatcher. A bigger queue lets it handle a
	      flood of events better, but could hold events that are not processed when the daemon is terminated. If you get  messages	in  syslog
	      about events getting dropped, increase this value. The default value is 80.

       overflow_action
	      This  option  determines how the daemon should react to overflowing its internal queue. When this happens, it means that more events
	      are being received than it can get rid of. This error means that it is going to lose the current event its trying  to  dispatch.	It
	      has  the	following  choices:  ignore, syslog, suspend, single, and halt.  If set to ignore, the audisp daemon does nothing.  syslog
	      means that it will issue a warning to syslog.  suspend will cause the audisp daemon to stop processing events. The daemon will still
	      be alive. The single option will cause the audisp daemon to put the computer system in single user mode.	halt option will cause the
	      audisp daemon to shutdown the computer system.

       priority_boost
	      This is a non-negative number that tells the audit event dispatcher how much of a priority boost it should take. This  boost  is	in
	      addition to the boost provided from the audit daemon. The default is 4. No change is 0.

       max_restarts
	      This  is	a  non-negative  number  that  tells the audit event dispatcher how many times it can try to restart a crashed plugin. The
	      default is 10.

       name_format
	      This option controls how computer node names are inserted into the audit event stream. It has the following choices: none, hostname,
	      fqd,  numeric,  and  user.  None means that no computer name is inserted into the audit event.  hostname is the name returned by the
	      gethostname syscall. The fqd means that it takes the hostname and resolves it with dns for a fully qualified  domain  name  of  that
	      machine.	Numeric is similar to fqd except it resolves the IP address of the machine.  User is an admin defined string from the name
	      option. The default value is none.

       name   This is the admin defined string that identifies the machine if user is given as the name_format option.
