Hi all,

Is there a way for auditbeat to tail /var/log/secure logs in Centos? I am using cockpit and would like to see failed login attempts on my OAM side in Kibana. Is that possible?

I know this can be done by filebeat, but can it also be done by auditbeat to have all security logs in one place?

Thanks  
Mohammad
