Hi, I am wondering if there is a way to get namespaces related to an audit event? There are obviously no namespace fields and I do not see them in the message as well. It might be important to audit a namespace of the process causing the event... or not?

That does sound potentially useful. I've been working on reducing some of the restrictions caused by the introduciton of namespaces on audit, in particular, dealing with net namespaces and pid namespaces. I'm still looking at user namespaces with caution. I've not dealt with mount, uts and ipc namespaces.

In particular to your concerns, I'd looked at how to identify namespaces in debug or log output and hadn't yet come up with anything satisfying yet.
