where can I find documentation on audit log formats?
I'm writing a tool to put audit logs into a database. I can guess at the format based on samples of logs I'm seeing, but I would feel better if I could find documentation that shows all the different types of audit log messages and what is in those messages.
Thanks

Unfortunately, there is no reference that captures everything. I do have an ausearch test suite that can aid in collating events so that you have one of everything:

In it, run ./gather-logs as root. You might also find the aucoverage program helpful in determining what's missing.
