How to Extract audit.log



While starting auditd service in linux it records all executed commands as exepected but in addition it records the background process too (the commands which is not executed at shell).



Audit.log as follows:



> type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1554390377.124:5): arch=40000003 syscall=11
> success=yes exit=0 a0=810cf88 a1=810bd88 a2=80f5008 a3=810bd88 items=2

> exe="/bin/busybox.nosuid" key=(null)

> type=EXECVE msg=audit(1554390377.124:5): argc=2 a0="date" a1="+%m%d%y-%H:%M:%S:%N"

In the above log,
I want only records where tty=pts*, I have tried egrep but I am not getting the output as expected.




egrep "tty=pts*|type=EXECVE" audit.log




Expected output:




type=EXECVE msg=audit(1554390389.524:36): argc=2 a0="cat"
a1="/tmp/cpuinfo"




I want only the records with tty=pts[0-6] (excluding tty=none).
