During syscall events, the path info is returned in a a record simply called AUDIT_PATH, cwd info is returned in AUDIT_CWD. So, rather than calling the record that gets attached to everything AUDIT_CONTAINER_INFO, how about simply AUDIT_CONTAINER.Considering the container initiation record is different than the record to document the container involved in an otherwise normal syscall, we need two names. I don't have a strong opinion what they are. I'd prefer AUDIT_CONTAIN and AUDIT_CONTAINER_INFO so that the two are different enough to be visually distinct while leaving AUDIT_CONTAINERID for the field type in patch 4 ("audit: add containerid filtering")(Sorry, I had intended AUDIT_CONTAINER for the first in that paragraph above.)quoted
How about AUDIT_CONTAINER for the auxiliary record? The one that starts the container, I don't have a strong opinion on. Could be AUDIT_CONTAINER_INIT, AUDIT_CONTAINER_START, AUDIT_CONTAINERID, AUDIT_CONTAINER_ID, or something else. The API call that sets the ID for filtering could be AUDIT_CID or AUDIT_CONTID if that helps decide what the initial event might be. Normally, it should match the field being filtered.Ok, I had shortened the record field name to "contid=" to be unique enough while not using too much netlink bandwidth. I could have used "cid=" but that could be unobvious or ambiguous. I didn't want to use the full "containerid=" due to that. I suppose I could change the field name macro to AUDIT_CONTID. For the one that starts the container, I'd prefer to leave the name a bit more general than "_INIT", "_START", so maybe I'll swap them around and use AUDIT_CONTAINER_INFO for the startup record, and use AUDIT_CONTAINER for the syscall auxiliary record. Does that work?
I'll go along with that. Thanks. But making that swap frees up AUDIT_CONTAINER_ID which could be the first event. But AUDIT_CONTAINER_INFO is also fine with me. Best Regards, -Steve
