NAME
vfs_full_audit - record Samba VFS operations in the system log
SYNOPSIS
vfs objects = full_audit
DESCRIPTION
This VFS module is part of the samba(7) suite.
The vfs_full_audit VFS module records selected client operations to the system log using syslog(3).
vfs_full_audit is able to record the complete set of Samba VFS operations:

In addition to these operations, vfs_full_audit recognizes the special operation names "all" and "none ", which refer to all the VFS opera-
tions and none of the VFS operations respectively.
vfs_full_audit records operations in fixed format consisting of fields separated by '|' characters. The format is:
smbd_audit: PREFIX|OPERATION|RESULT|FILE
The record fields are:
o PREFIX - the result of the full_audit:prefix string after variable substitutions
o OPERATION - the name of the VFS operation
o RESULT - whether the operation succeeded or failed
o FILE - the name of the file or directory the operation was performed on
This module is stackable.
OPTIONS
vfs_full_audit:prefix = STRING
Prepend audit messages with STRING. STRING is processed for standard substitution variables listed in smb.conf(5). The default prefix is
"%u|%I".
vfs_full_audit:success = LIST
LIST is a list of VFS operations that should be recorded if they succeed. Operations are specified using the names listed above.
vfs_full_audit:failure = LIST
LIST is a list of VFS operations that should be recorded if they failed. Operations are specified using the names listed above.
full_audit:facility = FACILITY
Log messages to the named syslog(3) facility.
full_audit:priority = PRIORITY
Log messages with the named syslog(3) priority.
EXAMPLES
Log file and directory open operations on the [records] share using the LOCAL7 facility and ALERT priority, including the username and IP
address:
[records]
path = /data/records
vfs objects = full_audit
full_audit:prefix = %u|%I
full_audit:success = open opendir
full_audit:failure = all
full_audit:facility = LOCAL7
full_audit:priority = ALERT
