Details
Audit /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker-registry.service, if applicable.
Apart from auditing your regular Linux file system and system calls, audit all Docker
related files and directories. Docker daemon runs with ‘root’ privileges. Its behavior
depends on some key files and directories. /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker-
registry.service is one such file. It holds various parameters for Docker registries. It
must be audited, if applicable.
Solution
Add a rule for /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker-registry.service file.
For example,Add the line as below in /etc/audit/audit.rules file
–w /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker-registry.service -k docker
Then, restart the audit daemon.
For example,
#> service auditd restart
Impact-Auditing generates quite big log files. Ensure to rotate and archive them periodically. Also,
create a separate partition of audit to avoid filling root file system.
Default Value-By default, Docker related files and directories are not audited. The
file /usr/lib/systemd/system/docker-registry.service may not be available on the
system
