  • CONN-GW-AUTH-FAIL: Gatway authentication failed.

  • CONN-KEY-ERROR: Hostkey mismatch.

  • CONN-USER-MAPPING-FAIL: Usermapping failed.

  • DENY: Denied.

  • FOUR-EYES-DEFERRED: Waiting for remote username.

  • FOUR-EYES-ERROR: Internal error during four-eyes authorization.

  • FOUR-EYES-REJECT: Four-eyes authorization rejected.

  • FOUR-EYES-TIMEOUT: Four-eyes authorization timed out.

Querying trail content with the lucene-search function

Caution:

This function works only if you have enabled indexing for the audit trails.

The lucene_search function allows you to search the content of indexed audit trails for a specific keyword and return the IDs of the channels that contain the search keyword. The lucene_search function requires four parameters:

  • search phrase: The keyword or keyphrase you are looking for, for example, a command issued in an SSH session (exit). The keyphrase can contain the following special operators to be used & (AND), | (OR), ! (NOT). Brackets can be used to group parts of the keyphrase.

  • beginning_timestamp: The date in UNIX-timestamp format. Only audit trails created after this date will be queried.

  • ending_timestamp: The date in UNIX-timestamp format. Only audit trails created before this date will be queried.

For example:

select lucene_search
from lucene_search('root', 1287402232, 1318938150);
       
# Sample output:
(1,2,3,1)
(1 row)

The output of this query is a formatted as the following:

(<channel_id>,<trail_id>,<hits_count>,<rank>)

Alternatively, you can use the following query format that returns a header of the displayed columns, and uses the pipe (|) character for separator:

For example:

select * from lucene_search('tmp',1496885628,1496954028);
channel_id | trail_id | hits_count | rank
-----------------------------+-----
1    | 2    | 3    | 1
(1 row)

The output contains the following columns:

  • channel_id: The ID of the channel within the audit trail (an audit trail file can contain audit trails of multiple channels).

  • trail_id: Identifies the audit trail using the unique identifier of the session (the _connection_channel_id of the channel for which the audit trail was created).

  • hits_count: The number of hits in the audit trail.

  • rank: Shows the relevance of the search result on a 0-1 scale, where 1 is the most relevant. Note that on the SPS search page, this information is scaled to 0-5 (and shown graphically with stars).

For details on how to use more complex keyphrases, see the Apache Lucene documentation.

For details of content indexing, see Configuring the internal indexer.
