The only tools I'm aware of are;

Sarbanes-Oxley has reared its ugly head. The word has come down from on high that we need to know everything root does on the affected systems. Using Solaris's built-in audit tools seems like the obvious choice. So, I have,
root:lo,ex,pc,fw,fm,fc,fd:no
In the audit_user file. Great. Most of the time this captures what we want without too much cruft...
Most of the time. We had one system generate two GBs of logs over two days (impractical). Now it is back to a few MB per day (reasonable). I'm still trying to figure out exactly why, but it looks like ufsdump/ufsrestore is hell on accounting. Not for all of the files getting touched, as I first expected, but rather to wild amounts of signalling (kill(2)) between processes.
Anyway, I am in search of tools to deal with audit logs. For example, I suspect that this noise is from ufsdump/restore, but this is hard to back out. It'd be sweet to have a tool where I could pull out all of the logs related to a process, including its children, and look at them. Something interactive would be so-o cool. Using auditreduce(1M) and praudit(1M) with grep, perl, and awk only goes so far, especially when it comes to GBs of logs.
Are there tools out there for this? Any leads, from Sun, free stuff, your scripts, or third-party commercial, would help.
(Oh, and peeve with auditreduce(1M), it can't handle large
files?!)
