title: About the auditd_conf Resource
---
# auditd_conf
Use the `auditd_conf` InSpec audit resource to test the configuration settings for the audit daemon. This file is typically located under `/etc/audit/auditd.conf'` on Unix and Linux platforms.
<br>
## Syntax
A `auditd_conf` resource block declares configuration settings that should be tested:
describe auditd_conf('path') do
its('keyword') { should cmp 'value' }
end
where
* `'keyword'` is a configuration setting defined in the `auditd.conf` configuration file
* `('path')` is the non-default path to the `auditd.conf` configuration file
* `{ should cmp 'value' }` is the value that is expected
<br>
## Examples
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
### Test the auditd.conf file

its('log_file') { should cmp '/full/path/to/file' }

its('freq') { should cmp 1 }
its('num_logs') { should cmp 0 }
its('max_log_file') { should cmp 6 }
its('max_log_file_action') { should cmp 'email' }
