Audit server logging

Administrators can stream event logs and keystroke (IO) logs from a client to a sudo log audit server (or compatible server) that implements the sudo logsrv protocol. This feature is disabled by default. Enable the recording service through configuring the policy server with pmsrvconfig or by editing pm.settings.

The stored keystroke (IO) logs can be rotated, trimmed, and compressed to manage storage space.

A syslog output of streamed keystroke (IO) logs can be used to send the data to a Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) tool.

pmmasterd sends I/O logs to the audit server when a command is run via pmrun. I/O logs are sent in real-time. A setting in pm.settings determines whether I/O logs are stored locally too.

Configuration options

You can configure the audit server in pm.settings or interactive mode The pm.settings file sincludes settings for the CA bundle, client certificate, and client key files as well as other settings.

Configuration with pm.settings

One or more audit servers can be specified in the pm.settings file along with the associated port (which defaults to port 30344).

When pmmasterd receives an event from the client, it relays the event to sudo_logsrvd. Events that are supported include: Accept, Reject, and Alert. Logging to the audit server is in addition to local logging. A setting in the pm.settings file specifies whether an unreachable audit server is considered a fatal error or not.

See PM settings variables for more information about modifying the following configuration settings:

  • auditsrvCAbundle

  • auditsrvCert

  • auditsrvEnabled

  • auditsrvEnforced

  • auditsrvHosts

  • auditsrvKeepalive

  • auditsrvLocaliologs

  • auditsrvLogdir

  • auditsrvPkey

  • auditsrvPSpaceMB

  • auditsrvTimeout

  • auditsrvTLS

  • auditsrvTLSCheckpeer

  • auditsrvTLSVerify

Configuration with pmsrvconfig

You can also use the interactive mode of pmsrvconfig to perform most configuration.

Example for interactive mode

In this example, you can see the how interactive mode works.

$ pmsrvconfig -i

Using pmsrvconfig

You can use the pmauditsrv and options for the following:

  • Verifies that the configured audit servers are accessible and configured properly and exchanges a "hello" message with the server.
  • If the audit server is not accessible, stores the events and keystroke (IO) logs temporarily offline and sent to the audit server when it is available.

The connection from pmmasterd to sudo_logsrvd uses TLS to secure data transmission. If none of the audit servers are reachable, event logs and keystroke I/O logs are queued locally on the policy server and sent to the audit server once it is available. Offline logs are encrypted until they are transferred to the log server.

For more information, see pmauditsrv.

Viewing the log files using command line tools

Using command line tools, you can list events and replay log files directly from the primary policy server using the pmlogsearch, pmreplay, and pmremlog commands.

pmlogsearch

pmlogsearch is a simple search utility based on common criteria. Run pmlogsearch on the primary server to query the logs on all servers in the policy group. pmlogsearch provides a summary report on events and keystroke logs matching at least one criteria. pmlog provides a more detailed report on events than pmlogsearch.

Hostnames may appear in the event logs and keystroke log files in either fully qualified format (myhost.mycompany.com) or in short name format (myhost), depending on how hostnames are resolved and the use of the short name setting in the pm.settings file. To ensure that either format is matched, use the short host name format with an asterisk wildcard (myhost*) when specifying a hostname search criteria.

See pmlogsearch for more information about the syntax and usage of the pmlogsearch command.

pmlogsearch performs a search across all policy servers in the policy group and returns a list of events (and associated keystroke log file names) for requests matching the specified criteria. You specify search criteria using the following options (you must specify at least one search option):

Table 9: Search criteria options
Command Description
--after "YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm:ss" Search for sessions initiated after the specified date and time.
--before "YYYY/MM/DD hh:mm:ss" Search for sessions initiated before the specified date and time.
--host hostname Search for sessions that run on the specified host.
--result accept|reject Return only events with the indicated result.
--text keyword Search for sessions containing the specified text.

--user username

Search for sessions by the specified requesting user.

The following pmlogsearch options support the use of wildcards, such as * and ?:

  • --host
  • --user

To match one or more characters, you can use wild card characters (such as ? and *) with the --host, --text, and --user options; but you must enclose arguments with wild cards in quotes to prevent the shell from interpreting the wild cards.

If there is a keystroke log associated with the event, it displays the log host and pathname along with the rest of the event information.

The following example lists two events with keystroke (IO) logs:

      # pmlogsearch --user sally 
Search matches 2 events 
2013/03/16 10:40:02 : Accept : sally@qpmsrv1.example.com 
   Request: sally@qpmsrv1.example.com : id 
   Executed: root@qpmsrv1.example.com : id 
   IO Log: qpmsrv1.example.com:/opt/quest/qpm4u/iologs/demo/sally/id_20120316_1040_ESpL6L 
2013/03/16 09:56:22 : Accept : sally@qpmsrv2.example.com 
   Request: sally@qpmsrv2.example.com : id 
   Executed: root@qpmsrv2.example.com : id 
   IO Log: qpmsrv2.example.com:/opt/quest/qpm4u/iologs/demo/sally/id_20120316_0956_mrVu4I
pmreplay

You can use the pmreplay command to replay a keystroke log file if it resides on the local policy server.

To replay the log, run:

# pmreplay <path_to_keystroke_log>

For example, the following command replays the first ls -l /etc log from the previous example:

# pmreplay /opt/quest/qpm4u/iologs/demo/sally/id_20120316_1040_ESpL6L
pmremlog

If the keystroke log resides on a remote policy server, you can use the pmremlog command with the -h <remote_host> and -p pmreplay options to remotely replay a keystroke log file. You specify the path argument to the remote pmreplay after the -- flag.

For example, enter the following command all on one line:

# pmremlog -h qpmsrv2 -p pmreplay -- /opt/quest/qpm4u/iologs/demo/sally/id_20120316_0956_mrVu4I

Host names may appear in the event logs and keystroke log files in either fully qualified format (myhost.mycompany.com) or in short-name format (myhost), depending on how host names are resolved and the use of the shortnames setting in the pm.settings file. To ensure that either format is matched, when you specify a host name search criteria, use the short-host name format with an asterisk wild card (For example, myhost*).

Listing event logs

You can list the events that are logged when you run a command, whether accepted or rejected by the policy server.

Keystroke logs are related to events. When you run a command, such as sudo whoami, the policy server either accepts or rejects the command based on the policy. When the policy server accepts the command, it creates an event and a corresponding keystroke log. If it rejects the event, it does not create a keystroke log. In order to view a keystroke log, you must first list events to find a particular keystroke log.

The pmlog command displays event log entries, such as events by date and time, host, user, run user, command, and result.

To display a list of events from the command line on the policy server

  1. From the command line, enter:
    # pmlog --after "2011/05/06 00:00:00" --user "tuser"

    pmlog provides direct and flexible access to the event logs on the local policy server and is capable of complex queries.

    If you run a command, you might see output similar to the following which indicates the policy server has successfully accepted or rejected commands:

    Accept 2011/05/11 13:20:04 tuser@ myhost.example.com -> root@ myhost.example.com   
       whoami 
       Command finished with exit status 0 
    Accept 2011/05/11 14:05:58 tuser@ myhost.example.com -> root@ myhost.example.com 
       whoami 
       Command finished with exit status 0 
    Reject 2011/05/11 14:06:17 tuser@ myhost.example.com 
       Fakecmd

    The following pmlog options support the use of wildcards, such as * and ?:

    • --user
    • --runuser
    • --reqhost
    • --runhost
    • --masterhost

    You can also use the pmremlog command on the primary policy server to run pmlog on secondary policy servers. For example:

    # pmremlog -h polsrv2 -p pmlog -- --user myuser --command sh
