I'm guessing that this ^^^ record is the directory that was removed. But as this is syscall exit, it has been removed and has no name. > type=PROCTITLE msg=audit(1614912311.117:4136): > proctitle=726D646972002F736173646174612F746573746469722F > > Shouldn't the directory path be recorded somewhere, regardless if there is > a slash at the end of the directory path? I want to think this was a problem on older kernels. The solution was to also place a watch on the directory itself ( -F path=/sasdata ). It has nothing to do with the trailing slash. -Steve > I found this issue while using Auditbeat, a collector of Linux Audit events > used for integration with Elasticsearch.
