Would it be something like:

sourcetype="/var/log/secure" eventtype="su_authentication"

When i give source="/var/log/auth.log" sudo it is showing all the accounts that performed a sudo not only to ROOT but also to other ones.

i am trying to sort out the results only to ROOT like, the accounts that did sudo su - root.
