Appendix D. AIX Audit Events

This Appendix provides a complete listing of the AFS events that can be audited on AIX file server machines. See Chapter Monitoring and Auditing AFS Performance for instructions on auditing AFS events on AIX file server machines.

Introduction

Below is a list of the AFS events contained in the file /afs/usr/local/audit/events.sample. Each entry contains information on the event class, the name of the event, the parameters associated with the event, and a description of the event.

Most events have an associated error code that shows the outcome of the event (since each event is recorded after it occurs), an AFSName (the authentication identify of the requesting process), and a host ID (from which the request originated). Many events follow the RPC server entry calls defined in the AFS Programmer's Reference Manual.

Events are classed by functionality (this is AIX specific). Some events possibly fall into one of more of the following classes which are defined by the file /usr/afs/local/config.sample:

Audit-Specific Events


Event Class Parameters Description
AFS_Audit_WR None <string> The file "/usr/afs/Audit" has been written to (AIX specific event).
AFS_Aud_On S ECode Auditing is on for this server process (recorded on startup of a server).
AFS_Aud_Off S ECode Auditing is off for this server process (recorded on startup of a server).
AFS_Aud_Unauth S ECode Event Event triggered by an unauthorized user.
Note:The following audit-specific events indicate an error has occurred while recording the event. Most events have an AFSName associated with them and a host ID. If this information cannot be gathered out of the Rx structure, one of these events is raised.

Event Class Parameters Description
AFS_Aud_NoCall S ECode Event No rx call structure with this event. Cannot get security, AFS ID, or origin of call.
AFS_Aud_NoConn S ECode Event No connection info associated with rx call. Cannot get security, AFS ID, or origin of call.
AFS_Aud_UnknSec S ECode Event Security of call is unknown (must be authorized or unauthorized caller).
AFS_Aud_NoAFSId S ECode Event No AFS ID/name associated with a secure event.
AFS_Aud_NoHost S ECode Event No information about origin (machine) of caller.
AFS_Aud_EINVAL None Event Error in audit event parameter (can't record the event parameter).
