Hello everyone, here is is my configuration file, I am unable to track root
activity, I am able to track user activity like the commands ran etc.

For example: If I run a command as sudo, I see it in the log however the
same command when switched to root is not being tracked.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.


@version:3.9
@include "scl.conf"


options { threaded(yes); };


source s_sys {
unix-stream("/dev/log");
    system();
    internal();

};
