How can I modify syslog to audit all files

Hello everyone !

I need to audit when someone edit the "test" file in the followings paths, for example:

opt/tomcat/webapps/file1/file2/file/ nano test

and

nano opt/tomcat/webapps/file1/file2/file/ test

In the first case I see the event made on test file, but in the second one I do not see any event registered.

What I should modify in the syslog to register both events in splunk?

Thanks in advance ! 🙂

Hi @trinidad,
probably it's a trascriction error, but there's a space between the path and the filename.

Anyway, insert in your search the string to search:

index=my_index ("opt/tomcat/webapps/file1/file2/file/ nano test" OR "nano opt/tomcat/webapps/file1/file2/file/test")
| ...

Ciao.
