    Hello,

    Your auditd configuration matches up with the default correction. You mentioned that SELinux is disabled. Could you confirm the output from the "getenforce" command?

    Thank you.

    After restart these logs stopped happening.

    I can't say what happened. But it may have been an update that needed restart.

    Thanks!
