editauditbeat.reference.yml
editThe following reference file is available with your Auditbeat installation. It
shows all non-deprecated Auditbeat options. You can copy from this file and paste
configurations into the auditbeat.yml file to customize it.
The reference file is located in the same directory as the
auditbeat.yml file. To locate the file, see Directory layout.
The contents of the file are included here for your convenience.
########################## Auditbeat Configuration #############################
# This is a reference configuration file documenting all non-deprecated options
# in comments. For a shorter configuration example that contains only the most
# common options, please see auditbeat.yml in the same directory.
#
# You can find the full configuration reference here:
# https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/auditbeat/index.html
# ============================== Config Reloading ==============================
# Config reloading allows to dynamically load modules. Each file that is
# monitored must contain one or multiple modules as a list.
auditbeat.config.modules:
# Glob pattern for configuration reloading

# Period on which files under path should be checked for changes
reload.period: 10s
# Set to true to enable config reloading
reload.enabled: false
# Maximum amount of time to randomly delay the start of a dataset. Use 0 to
# disable startup delay.
auditbeat.max_start_delay: 10s

## Define audit rules here.
## Create file watches (-w) or syscall audits (-a or -A). Uncomment these
## examples or add your own rules.
## If you are on a 64 bit platform, everything should be running
## in 64 bit mode. This rule will detect any use of the 32 bit syscalls
## because this might be a sign of someone exploiting a hole in the 32
## bit API.
#-a always,exit -F arch=b32 -S all -F key=32bit-abi
## Executions.
#-a always,exit -F arch=b64 -S execve,execveat -k exec

# The tags of the shipper are included in their field with each
# transaction published. Tags make it easy to group servers by different
# logical properties.
#tags: ["service-X", "web-tier"]
# Optional fields that you can specify to add additional information to the
# output. Fields can be scalar values, arrays, dictionaries, or any nested
# combination of these.
#fields:

# Internal queue configuration for buffering events to be published.
# Queue settings may be overridden by performance presets in the

#queue:
# Queue type by name (default 'mem')
# The memory queue will present all available events (up to the outputs
# bulk_max_size) to the output, the moment the output is ready to serve
# another batch of events.
#mem:
# Max number of events the queue can buffer.
#events: 3200
# Hints the minimum number of events stored in the queue,
# before providing a batch of events to the outputs.
# The default value is set to 2048.
# A value of 0 ensures events are immediately available
# to be sent to the outputs.
#flush.min_events: 1600
# Maximum duration after which events are available to the outputs,
# if the number of events stored in the queue is < `flush.min_events`.
#flush.timeout: 10s
# The disk queue stores incoming events on disk until the output is
# ready for them. This allows a higher event limit than the memory-only
# queue and lets pending events persist through a restart.
#disk:
# The directory path to store the queue's data.

# The maximum space the queue should occupy on disk. Depending on
# input settings, events that exceed this limit are delayed or discarded.

# ================================= Processors =================================
# Processors are used to reduce the number of fields in the exported event or to
# enhance the event with external metadata. This section defines a list of
# processors that are applied one by one and the first one receives the initial
# event:
#
# event -> filter1 -> event1 -> filter2 ->event2 ...
#
# The supported processors are drop_fields, drop_event, include_fields,
# decode_json_fields, and add_cloud_metadata.
#
# For example, you can use the following processors to keep the fields that
# contain CPU load percentages, but remove the fields that contain CPU ticks
# values:
#
#processors:
# - include_fields:
# fields: ["cpu"]
# - drop_fields:
# fields: ["cpu.user", "cpu.system"]
#
# The following example drops the events that have the HTTP response code 200:
#
#processors:
# - drop_event:
# when:
# equals:
# http.code: 200
#
# The following example renames the field a to b:
#
#processors:
# - rename:
# fields:
# - from: "a"
# to: "b"
#
# The following example tokenizes the string into fields:
#
#processors:
# - dissect:
# tokenizer: "%{key1} - %{key2}"
# field: "message"
# target_prefix: "dissect"
#
# The following example enriches each event with metadata from the cloud
# provider about the host machine. It works on EC2, GCE, DigitalOcean,
# Tencent Cloud, and Alibaba Cloud.
#
#processors:
# - add_cloud_metadata: ~
#
# The following example enriches each event with the machine's local time zone
# offset from UTC.
#
#processors:
# - add_locale:
# format: offset
#
# The following example enriches each event with docker metadata, it matches
# given fields to an existing container id and adds info from that container:
#
#processors:
# - add_docker_metadata:
# host: "unix:///var/run/docker.sock"
# match_fields: ["system.process.cgroup.id"]
# match_pids: ["process.pid", "process.parent.pid"]
# match_source: true
# match_source_index: 4
# match_short_id: false
# cleanup_timeout: 60
# labels.dedot: false
# # To connect to Docker over TLS you must specify a client and CA certificate.
# #ssl:
# # certificate_authority: "/etc/pki/root/ca.pem"
# # certificate: "/etc/pki/client/cert.pem"
# # key: "/etc/pki/client/cert.key"
#
# The following example enriches each event with docker metadata, it matches
# container id from log path available in `source` field (by default it expects
# it to be /var/lib/docker/containers/*/*.log).
#
#processors:
# - add_docker_metadata: ~
#
# The following example enriches each event with host metadata.
#
#processors:
# - add_host_metadata: ~
#
# The following example enriches each event with process metadata using
# process IDs included in the event.
#
#processors:
# - add_process_metadata:
# match_pids: ["system.process.ppid"]
# target: system.process.parent
#
# The following example decodes fields containing JSON strings
# and replaces the strings with valid JSON objects.
#
#processors:
# - decode_json_fields:
# fields: ["field1", "field2", ...]
# process_array: false
# max_depth: 1
# target: ""
# overwrite_keys: false
#
#processors:
# - decompress_gzip_field:
# from: "field1"
# to: "field2"
# ignore_missing: false
# fail_on_error: true
#
# The following example copies the value of the message to message_copied
#
#processors:
# - copy_fields:
# fields:
# - from: message
# to: message_copied
# fail_on_error: true
# ignore_missing: false
#
# The following example truncates the value of the message to 1024 bytes
#
#processors:
# - truncate_fields:
# fields:
# - message
# max_bytes: 1024
# fail_on_error: false
# ignore_missing: true
#
# The following example preserves the raw message under event.original
#
#processors:
# - copy_fields:
# fields:
# - from: message
# to: event.original
# fail_on_error: false
# ignore_missing: true
# - truncate_fields:
# fields:
# - event.original
# max_bytes: 1024
# fail_on_error: false
# ignore_missing: true
#
# The following example URL-decodes the value of field1 to field2
#
#processors:
# - urldecode:
# fields:
# - from: "field1"
# to: "field2"
# ignore_missing: false
# fail_on_error: true

#=============================== Events Logging ===============================
# Some outputs will log raw events on errors like indexing errors in the
# Elasticsearch output, to prevent logging raw events (that may contain
# sensitive information) together with other log messages, a different
# log file, only for log entries containing raw events, is used. It will
# use the same level, selectors and all other configurations from the
# default logger, but it will have it's own file configuration.
#
# Having a different log file for raw events also prevents event data
# from drowning out the regular log files.
#
# IMPORTANT: No matter the default logger output configuration, raw events
# will **always** be logged to a file configured by `logging.event_data.files`.
