AUDITREDUCE(1)		FreeBSD General Commands Manual 	AUDITREDUCE(1)

NAME
     auditreduce -- select records from audit trail files

SYNOPSIS
     auditreduce [-A] [-a YYYYMMDD[HH[MM[SS]]]] [-b YYYYMMDD[HH[MM[SS]]]]

		 [-c flags] [-d YYYYMMDD] [-e euid] [-f egid] [-g rgid]
		 [-j id] [-m event] [-o object=value] [-r ruid] [-u auid]
		 [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
     The auditreduce utility selects records from the audit trail files based
     on the specified criteria.  Matching audit records are printed to the
     standard output in their raw binary form.	If no file argument is speci-
     fied, the standard input is used by default.  Use the praudit(1) utility
     to print the selected audit records in human-readable form.

     The options are as follows:

     -A      Select all records.

     -a YYYYMMDD[HH[MM[SS]]]
	     Select records that occurred after or on the given datetime.

     -b YYYYMMDD[HH[MM[SS]]]
	     Select records that occurred before the given datetime.

     -c flags
	     Select records matching the given audit classes specified as a
	     comma separated list of audit flags.  See audit_control(5) for a
	     description of audit flags.

     -d YYYYMMDD
	     Select records that occurred on a given date.  This option cannot
	     be used with -a or -b.

     -e euid
	     Select records with the given effective user ID or name.

     -f egid
	     Select records with the given effective group ID or name.

     -g rgid
	     Select records with the given real group ID or name.

     -j id   Select records having a subject token with matching ID.

     -m event
	     Select records with the given event name or number.  See
	     audit_event(5) for a description of audit event names and num-
	     bers.

     -o object=value

	     file    Select records containing path tokens, where the pathname
		     matches one of the comma delimited extended regular
		     expression contained in given specification.  Regular
		     expressions which are prefixed with a tilde (`~') are
		     excluded from the search results.	These extended regular
		     expressions are processed from left to right, and a path
		     will either be selected or deslected based on the first
		     match.

		     Since commas are used to delimit the regular expressions,
		     a backslash (`\') character should be used to escape the
		     comma if it is a part of the search pattern.

	     msgqid  Select records containing the given message queue ID.

	     pid     Select records containing the given process ID.

	     semid   Select records containing the given semaphore ID.

	     shmid   Select records containing the given shared memory ID.

     -r ruid
	     Select records with the given real user ID or name.

     -u auid
	     Select records with the given audit ID.

EXAMPLES
     To select all records associated with effective user ID root from the
     audit log /var/audit/20031016184719.20031017122634:

	   auditreduce -e root \
	       /var/audit/20031016184719.20031017122634

     To select all setlogin(2) events from that log:

	   auditreduce -m AUE_SETLOGIN \
	       /var/audit/20031016184719.20031017122634

     Output from the above command lines will typically be piped to a new
     trail file, or via standard output to the praudit(1) command.

     Select all records containing a path token where the pathname contains
     /etc/master.passwd:

	   auditreduce -o file="/etc/master.passwd" \
	       /var/audit/20031016184719.20031017122634

     Select all records containing path tokens, where the pathname is a TTY
     device:

	   auditreduce -o file="/dev/tty[a-zA-Z][0-9]+" \
	       /var/audit/20031016184719.20031017122634

     Select all records containing path tokens, where the pathname is a TTY
     except for /dev/ttyp2:

	   auditreduce -o file="~/dev/ttyp2,/dev/tty[a-zA-Z][0-9]+" \
	       /var/audit/20031016184719.20031017122634

HISTORY
     The OpenBSM implementation was created by McAfee Research, the security
     division of McAfee Inc., under contract to Apple Computer Inc. in 2004.
     It was subsequently adopted by the TrustedBSD Project as the foundation
     for the OpenBSM distribution.

AUTHORS
     This software was created by McAfee Research, the security research divi-
     sion of McAfee, Inc., under contract to Apple Computer Inc.  Additional
     authors include Wayne Salamon, Robert Watson, and SPARTA Inc.

     The Basic Security Module (BSM) interface to audit records and audit
     event stream format were defined by Sun Microsystems.
