title: The aide_conf Resource
platform: linux

# aide_conf
Use the `aide_conf` InSpec audit resource to test the rules established for the file integrity tool AIDE. Controlled by the aide.conf file typically at /etc/aide.conf.
<br>
## Availability
### Installation
This resource is distributed along with InSpec itself. You can use it automatically.
### Version
This resource first became available in v1.37.6 of InSpec.
## Syntax
An `aide_conf` resource block can be used to determine if the selection lines contain one (or more) directories whose files should be added to the aide database:
describe aide_conf('path') do
its('selection_lines') { should include '/sbin' }
end
where
* `'selection_lines'` refers to all selection lines found in the aide.conf file
* `('path')` is the non-default path to the `aide.conf` file (optional)
* `should include 'value'` is the value that is expected
Use the where clause to match a selection_line to one rule or a particular set of rules found in the aide.conf file:
describe aide_conf.where { selection_line == '/bin' } do
its('rules.flatten') { should include 'r' }
end
describe aide_conf.where { selection_line == '/sbin' } do
its('rules') { should include ['p', 'i', 'l', 'n', 'u', 'g', 'sha512'] }
end
<br>
## Properties
* `conf_path`, `content`, `rules`, `all_have_rule`
<br>
## Property Examples
The following examples show how to use this InSpec audit resource.
### Test if all selection lines contain the xattr rule
describe aide_conf.all_have_rule('xattr') do
it { should eq true }
end
### Test whether selection line for /bin contains a particular rule
describe aide_conf.where { selection_line == '/bin' } do
its('rules.flatten') { should include 'r' }
end
### Test whether selection line for /sbin consists of a particular set of rules
describe aide_conf.where { selection_line == '/sbin' } do
its('rules') { should include ['r', 'sha512'] }
end
### The usage of all\_have\_rule will return whether or not all selection lines in audit.conf contain a particular rule:
describe aide_conf.all_have_rule('sha512') do
it { should eq true }
end
