Examples

#1 

$ ANALYZE/AUDIT /FULL/SELECT=USERNAME=JOHNSON -
_$ SYS$MANAGER:SECURITY.AUDIT$JOURNAL

The command in this example selects all records written to the security audit log file that were generated by user JOHNSON.

#2 

$ ANALYZE/AUDIT/FULL/SELECT=PRIVILEGES_USED=(SYSPRV,-
_$ BYPASS)  SYS$MANAGER:SECURITY.AUDIT$JOURNAL

The command in this example selects all records written to the security audit log file that were generated by events through the use of either SYSPRV or BYPASS privilege.

#3 

$ ANALYZE/AUDIT/FULL/EVENT=SYSUAF/SELECT= -
_$ IMAGE=("*:[SYS*SYSEXE]SETP0.EXE","*:[SYS*SYSEXE]LOGINOUT.EXE") -
_$ SYS$MANAGER:SECURITY

The command in this example selects all records that involve password changes written to the security audit log file.

The following example is a command procedure that you could run at midnight to select all SYSUAF, AUDIT, and BREAKIN events (excluding password changes) and mail the result to the system manager: 


 
$! DAILY_AUDIT.COM 
$ 
$   mail_list = "SYSTEM" 
$   audsrv$_noselect = %X003080A0 
$   audit_events = "SYSUAF,BREAKIN,AUDIT" 
$ 
$   analyze /audit /full - 
 /event=('audit_events') - 
 /output=audit.tmp - 
 /ignore=image=("*:[SYS*SYSEXE]SETP0.EXE","*:[SYS*SYSEXE]LOGINOUT.EXE") - 
 sys$manager:SECURITY.AUDIT$JOURNAL 
$ 
$   status = $status 
$   if (status.and.%XFFFFFFF) .eq. audsrv$_noselect then goto no_records 
$   if .not. status then goto error_analyze 
$   if f$file("audit.tmp","eof") .eq. 0 then goto no_records 
$   mail /subject="''audit_events' listing from ''f$time()'" - 
 audit.tmp 'mail_list' 
$   goto new_log 
$ 
$ no_records: 
$   mail /subject="No interesting security events" nl: 'mail_list' 
$ 
$ new_log: 
$   if f$search("audit.tmp") .nes. "" then delete audit.tmp;* 
$   set audit /server=new_log 
$   rename sys$manager:SECURITY.AUDIT$JOURNAL;-1 - 
 sys$common:[sysmgr]'f$element(0," ",f$edit(f$time(),"TRIM"))' 
$   exit 
$ 
$ error_analyze: 
$   mail/subj="Error analyzing auditing information" nl: 'mail_list' 
$   exit

/SINCE

Indicates the utility must operate on records dated with the specified time or after the specified time.

Format

/SINCE [=time]

/NOSINCE

Keyword

time

Specifies the time used to select records. Records dated the same or later than the specified time are selected. You can specify an absolute time, a delta time, or a combination of the two. Observe the syntax rules for date and time described in the OpenVMS User's Manual.

If you specify /SINCE without the time, the utility uses the beginning of the current day.

Examples

#1 

$ ANALYZE/AUDIT /SINCE=25-NOV-2005 -
_$ SYS$MANAGER:SECURITY.AUDIT$JOURNAL

The command in this example selects records dated later than November 25, 2005.

#2 

$ ANALYZE/AUDIT /SINCE=25-NOV-2005:15:00 -
_$ SYS$MANAGER:SECURITY.AUDIT$JOURNAL

The command in this example selects records written after 3 P.M. on November 25, 2005.

/SUMMARY

Specifies that a summary of the selected records be produced after all records are processed.

Note that the /SUMMARY qualifier code is executed after the Audit Analyzer is finished, that is, after all the records to be analyzed have been collected and processed. When you specify the /INTERACTIVE qualifier (which is the default), the Audit Analyzer never reaches the finished state because /INTERACTIVE prompts you repeatedly to enter another command (which might result in a new set of records to be analyzed).

To use the /SUMMARY qualifier, you must also specify /NOINTERACTIVE, which ensures that the Audit Analyzer reaches the finished state that allows the SUMMARY code to be executed and to display the proper information. In a future version of OpenVMS, the Audit Analyzer will return an error when /SUMMARY and /INTERACTIVE are specified together.

You can use the /SUMMARY qualifier alone or in combination with the /BRIEF, the /BINARY, or the /FULL qualifier.

Format

/SUMMARY =presentation

/NOSUMMARY

Keyword

presentation

Specifies the presentation of the summary. If you do not specify a presentation criterion, ANALYZE/AUDIT summarizes the number of audits.

You can specify either of the following presentations:

COUNT

Lists the total number of audit messages for each class of security event that have been extracted from the security audit log file. This is the default.

PLOT

Displays a plot showing the class of the audit event, the time of day when the audit was generated, and the name of the system where the audit was generated.

Examples

#1 

$ ANALYZE/AUDIT/SUMMARY SYS$MANAGER:SECURITY.AUDIT$JOURNAL

The command in this example generates a summary report of all records processed.

#2 

$ ANALYZE/AUDIT/FULL/EVENT_TYPE=(BREAKIN,LOGFAIL)/SUMMARY -
_$ SYS$MANAGER:SECURITY.AUDIT$JOURNAL

The command in this example generates a full format listing of all logged audit messages that match the break-in or log failure event classes. A summary report is included at the end of the listing.

#3 

$ ANALYZE/AUDIT/FULL/EVENT_TYPE=(BREAKIN,LOGFAIL)/SUMMARY=PLOT -
_$ SYS$MANAGER:SECURITY.AUDIT$JOURNAL

This command generates a histogram that you can display on a character-cell terminal.

4.4 ANALYZE/AUDIT Commands

This section describes the interactive commands available with the Audit Analysis utility (ANALYZE/AUDIT). The qualifiers for this section follow the standard rules of DCL grammar.

The utility runs interactively by default; you disable the feature with the /NOINTERACTIVE qualifier to the ANALYZE/AUDIT command. To enter interactive commands, press Ctrl/C at any time during the processing of a full or brief interactive display. At the COMMAND> prompt, you can enter any command listed in this section. Use the CONTINUE command to resume processing of the event records, or use the EXIT command to terminate the session.

CONTINUE

Resumes processing of event records.

Format

CONTINUE

Parameters

None.

Qualifiers

None.

Example


COMMAND> DISPLAY/SINCE=25-JAN-2005/SELECT=USERNAME=JOHNSON 
COMMAND> CONTINUE

The first command in this example selects only event records generated by user JOHNSON after January 25, 2005. The second command in the example displays a report based on the new selection criteria.

DISPLAY

Changes the criteria used to select event records.

Format

DISPLAY

Parameters

None.

For a more complete description of any of the following qualifiers, see the description of the qualifier in the preceding ANALYZE/AUDIT Qualifiers section.

Qualifiers

/BEFORE=time

/EVENT_TYPE=event-type[,...]

Controls whether only those records matching the specified event type are selected.

/FULL

Controls whether a full format for each record is used in ASCII displays.

/IGNORE=criteria[,...]

Controls whether records matching the specified criteria are excluded. If you specify /IGNORE two or more times, the criteria are combined. To specify a new set of exclusion criteria, include the /REMOVE qualifier with the /IGNORE qualifier.

/PAUSE=seconds

For full-format displays (/FULL), specifies the length of time each record is displayed.

/REMOVE

Controls whether the criteria specified by the /IGNORE and the /SELECT qualifiers are no longer to be used to select event records to be displayed.

/SELECT=criteria[,...]

Controls whether only those records matching the specified criteria are selected. If you specify /SELECT two or more times, the criteria are combined. To specify a new set of selection criteria, include the /REMOVE qualifier with the /SELECT qualifier.

/SINCE[=time]

Controls whether only those records dated the same or later than the specified time are selected.

Examples

#1 

COMMAND> DISPLAY/EVENT_TYPE=SYSUAF
COMMAND> CONTINUE

The first command in this example selects records that were generated as a result of a modification to the system user authorization file (SYSUAF). The second command displays the selected records.

#2
