auditstat [-c count] [-h numlines] [-i interval] [-n] [-v]
DESCRIPTION
auditstat displays kernel audit statistics. The fields displayed are as follows:
aud The total number of audit records processed by the audit(2) system call.
ctl This field is obsolete.
drop The total number of audit records that have been dropped. Records are dropped according to the kernel audit policy. See auditon(2),

enq The total number of audit records put on the kernel audit queue.
gen The total number of audit records that have been constructed (not the number written).
kern The total number of audit records produced by user processes (as a result of system calls).
mem The total number of Kbytes of memory currently in use by the kernel audit module.

any particular user.
rblk The total number of times that the audit queue has blocked waiting to process audit data.
tot The total number of Kbytes of audit data written to the audit trail.
wblk The total number of times that user processes blocked on the audit queue at the high water mark.
wrtn The total number of audit records written. The difference between enq and wrtn is the number of outstanding audit records on the
audit queue that have not been written.
