Audit Rules File

An audit rules file determines what files and file attributes to audit on a managed host. The audit rules file serves two purposes:

To specify which files and directories to catalog when building a manifest for a managed host
To specify which files, directories, and file attributes in the manifests to compare when auditing managed hosts

For example, you might want to ignore the directory modification time for files. The modification time changes each time a file is created or deleted in the directory. You might also want to ignore core files or .o files.

The format of the audit rules file is described in Audit Rules File Format. The audit rules file name must use the .brul suffix.
