6.4 Configuring and Using the AppArmor Desktop Monitor Applet
The Linux audit framework contains a dispatcher that can send AppArmor
events to any consumer application via dbus. The GNOME AppArmor Desktop Monitor
applet is one example of an application that gathers AppArmor events via dbus.
To configure audit to use the dbus dispatcher, just set the dispatcher in
your audit configuration in /etc/audit/auditd.conf to
apparmor-dbus and restart auditd:
dispatcher=/usr/bin/apparmor-dbus
Once the dbus dispatcher is configured correctly, add the AppArmor Desktop
Monitor to the GNOME panel by right-clicking the panel and selecting
. As soon as a REJECT event is logged, the
applet's panel icon changes appearance and you can click the applet to see
the number of reject events per confined application. To view the exact log
messages, refer to the audit log under
/var/log/audit/audit.log. React to any
REJECT events as described in Section 6.5, Reacting to Security Event Rejections.
