# auditd_conf

|
## Availability
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
This resource is distributed along with Chef InSpec itself. You can use it automatically.
|
|
|
|
### Version
|
|
|
|
This resource first became available in v1.0.0 of InSpec.
|
|
|
|
## 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>
|
|
|
|
## Properties

|
|
|
This matcher will match any property listed in the `auditd.conf` configuration file. Property names and expected values are case-insensitive:
|
|
|
|
* `admin_space_left`, `admin_space_left_action`, `action_mail_acct`, `disk_error_action`, `disk_full_action`, `flush`, `freq`, `log_file`, `log_format`, `max_log_file`, `max_log_file_action`, `num_logs`, `space_left`, `space_left_action`
