Hello. I am trying to setup Osquery process eventing inside a container. Is it possible? (I can setup snapshot queries fine inside the container). To give the further info, I am able to setup process eventing inside a Centos7 VM after disabling auditd. In the VM, I could see osquery taking over auditd rules (
auditctl -l
shows me rules added by osquery but in the container, this doesn't work.) The same set of flags don't work when I test it out inside a container. These are the flags I am launching osqueryd with
Copy code
--audit_allow_config=true
--audit_allow_sockets
--audit_persist=true
--disable_audit=false
The error that I am getting is
osquery_1   | I0429 19:00:06.721541    16 auditdnetlink.cpp:623] Failed to set the netlink owner

Not really. The events are provided by the auditing framework in the linux kernel, which is shared between all containers
If you let the container run as privileged and the uid of osqueryd inside the container is 0, it should work but then you’re monitoring the whole VM, not just the container (which I think is your goal)

Thanks for the response! I am not super knowledgeble with containers but seems that I should be able to get eventing process for container from host itself.

Yes, you can

Be careful with your analytics of the data though, different containers have different PID namespaces so processes in different containers can have the same PID even if they have nothing to do with each other
