Full Discussion: When AIX audit start, How to set the /audit/stream.out file size ?
Operating Systems AIX When AIX audit start, How to set the /audit/stream.out file size ? Post 302585992 by admin_xor on Friday 30th of December 2011 12:18:36 AM

Why don't you write a script which will monitor the file size of stream.out and if it becomes close to 150MB, the script will make a backup copy of it before the audit subsystem over writes the file?

You may place this in your crontab for executing it in every 30 minutes or so:

Code:
#!/bin/ksh

size=$( /usr/bin/du -k /audit/stream.out | /bin/awk {print $1} )

# I'm considering the threshold size to be 148MB; you may increase the
# frequency of the cron job while increasing the threshold size.

if [ $size -ge 151552 ]; then
   cp /audit/stream.out /audit/stream.out.`date +"%F-%H-%M-%S"`
fi

exit 0

audisp-remote

AUDISP-REMOTE:(8)					  System Administration Utilities					 AUDISP-REMOTE:(8)

NAME

       audisp-remote - plugin for remote logging

SYNOPSIS

       audisp-remote

DESCRIPTION

       audisp-remote is a plugin for the audit event dispatcher daemon, audispd, that preforms remote logging to an aggregate logging server.

TIPS

       If  you	are  aggregating  multiple  machines,  you should enable node information in the audit event stream. You can do this in one of two
       places. If you want computer node names written to disk as well as sent in the realtime	event  stream,	edit  the  name_format	option	in
       /etc/audit/auditd.conf.	If you only want the node names in the realtime event stream, then edit the name_format option in /etc/audisp/aud-
       ispd.conf. Do not enable both as it will put 2 node fields in the event stream.

FILES

       /etc/audisp/plugins.d/au-remote.conf, /etc/audit/auditd.conf, /etc/audisp/audispd.conf, /etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf

SEE ALSO

       audispd(8), auditd.conf(8), audispd.conf(8), audisp-remote.conf(5).
