Hi,
Got the above output in my event log and when I click "read more" on that event, there was no documentation.. So...
Below is the description in the event details.. Seems to suggest the "privileged functions" where misused..
Is this something that I should look into further..???

At a minimum, the audit system should collect the execution of privileged commands for all users and root.

Auditing the use of privileged functions is one way to detect such misuse and identify the risk from insider and advanced persistent threast. Privileged programs are subject to escalation-of-privilege attacks, which attempt to subvert their normal role of providing some necessary but limited capability. As such, motivation exists to monitor these programs for unusual activity.
