Scale Your Auditing Events

Keeps auditd rules but emits structured JSON into Elasticsearch so you can search and visualize rather than regex-parse raw lines; Auditbeat correlates process/user/namespace metadata, ships 114000 events from one host over hours (20k in the last hour) during the demo, and detects file changes like a mutated index.html via file integrity hashing. Dashboards and Elastic SIEM rules surface SSH egress and suspicious socket activity, and index lifecycle policies handle hot/warm/cold scaling.
