Audit Event Messages

Compared to RASLog error messages, messages flagged as AUDIT provide additional user and
system-related information of interest for post event auditing and problem determination.

Audit event message format:

AUDIT, <timestamp>, [<Event ID>], <Severity>, <Event Class>, <User

ID>/<Role>/<IP address>/<Interface>/<app name>. <Admin Domain>/<Switch name>,

<Reserved field for future expansion>, <Event-specific information>

The following is a sample audit event message:

AUDIT, 2005/12/10-09:54:03, [SEC-1000], WARNING, SECURITY,

JohnSmith/root/192.168.132.10/Telnet/CLI, Domain A/JohnsSwitch, , Incorrect

password during login attempt.
