This package provides some improvements over the original e4rat package, and circumvents some usability issues. To use the tools included with the package, follow the instructions upstream: https://github.com/ShyPixie/e4rat-lite#how-to-use Note that in order to use the audit tools, a kernel build with auditing support enabled is required.

CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:1 (cmake_minimum_required):
Compatibility with CMake < 3.5 has been removed from CMake.


Update the VERSION argument <min> value.  Or, use the <min>...<max> syntax
to tell CMake that the project requires at least <min> but has been updated
to work with policies introduced by <max> or earlier.


Or, add -DCMAKE_POLICY_VERSION_MINIMUM=3.5 to try configuring anyway.

This no longer builds, even in a clean chroot. Anyone still using it?

I've taken another look at the patch I last added, and as far as I can tell it should be working, but I can't say for certain. We'd need to look at an output log from when it's running to get a better idea. I don't maintain the source, so it's difficult enough for me to figure out what would be the problem.

Hello from 2023! I have the same experience as @churro and @13905069 below. Compiles and runs fine, but doesn't write anything to the log file.

Also,it doesn't write anything to startup.log.I add "audit=1" to my kernel parameters and enable auditd service.I see it executes systemd when booting,but it seems exit after that (no error).I can't see its process after I enter desktop. These are my kernel parameters:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="audit=1 init=/usr/sbin/e4rat-lite-collect loglevel=6 resume=UUID=2d870469-0638-43c2-9e9e-165ffff73608"

This isn't working for me, it compiles, installs, and runs... but it doesn't actually create the log after collecting data, nor does it append to it after I created the file myself. After closing the process using -k --verbose I could see the likely culprit - it's excluding every file it's detecting for some reason:

Generating exclude file list ... 1608 open files 0 parsed from /var/lib/e4rat-lite/startup.log Total number of excluded files: 1608

So I figure because it's excluding everything, it does nothing. Is this happening to anyone else?

I have applied the fix as a patch. I am however not currently able to test and verify that the package still functions correctly, only that it builds correctly.

I think the build error is caused by this function in listener.cc:

void addSyscall(struct audit_rule_data* rule, const char* sc, int machine)
{
    int syscall_nr;
    syscall_nr = audit_name_to_syscall(sc, machine);
    if(syscall_nr == -1)
        throw std::logic_error(_("Cannot convert syscall to number"));

    audit_rule_syscall_data(rule, syscall_nr);
}

It seems that audit_rule_syscall_data is not available but using audit_rule_syscallbyname_data (ref).

This seems to fix the problem: 

void addSyscall(struct audit_rule_data* rule, const char* sc, int machine)
{
    audit_rule_syscallbyname_data(rule, sc);
}

I'm having the same problem building as simona.
