audit.conf

The following are the spec and example files for audit.conf.

audit.conf.spec

   Version 7.2.9

 This file contains possible attributes and values you can use to configure
 auditing and event signing in audit.conf.

 There is NO DEFAULT audit.conf. To set custom configurations, place an
 audit.conf in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/system/local/. For examples, see
 audit.conf.example.  You must restart Splunk to enable configurations.

 To learn more about configuration files (including precedence) please see the
 documentation located at
 http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Admin/Aboutconfigurationfiles

GLOBAL SETTINGS

 Use the [default] stanza to define any global settings.
  * You can also define global settings outside of any stanza, at the top of the file.
  * Each conf file should have at most one default stanza. If there are
    multiple default stanzas, attributes are combined. In the case of multiple
    definitions of the same attribute, the last definition in the file wins.
  * If an attribute is defined at both the global level and in a specific
    stanza, the value in the specific stanza takes precedence.


 KEYS: specify your public and private keys for encryption.


queueing=[true|false]
* Turn off sending audit events to the indexQueue -- tail the audit events
  instead.
* If this is set to 'false', you MUST add an inputs.conf stanza to tail the
  audit log in order to have the events reach your index.
  * Defaults to true.
