Copying /etc/asl/rules to another installation

[chrismcb]

Just looking to find out how best to copy all of the tailored rules from one machine to another which are stored under /etc/asl/rules.

I've spent a bit of time tweaking email alert levels to ensure that only relevant ones are sent through on my hourly OSSEC report.

I have copied the file over and ran asl -s f, however they don't all seem to be loaded into the system.

Is there another command which would load this file in?

Use: asl -s -f

And please note that the format of this file has changed from V3 to V4. If you are copying a V3 file over you may need to verify the changes through the rule manager to make sure it re-formats the file in the correct layout.

Thanks - that must have been it, a couple of older ones weren't integrated.
