This package provides some improvements over the original e4rat package, and circumvents some usability issues. To use the tools included with the package, follow the instructions upstream: https://github.com/ShyPixie/e4rat-lite#how-to-use Note that in order to use the audit tools, a kernel build with auditing support enabled is required.

This no longer builds, even in a clean chroot. Anyone still using it?

I've taken another look at the patch I last added, and as far as I can tell it should be working, but I can't say for certain. We'd need to look at an output log from when it's running to get a better idea. I don't maintain the source, so it's difficult enough for me to figure out what would be the problem.

Hello from 2023! I have the same experience as @churro and @13905069 below. Compiles and runs fine, but doesn't write anything to the log file.

Also,it doesn't write anything to startup.log.I add "audit=1" to my kernel parameters and enable auditd service.I see it executes systemd when booting,but it seems exit after that (no error).I can't see its process after I enter desktop. These are my kernel parameters:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="audit=1 init=/usr/sbin/e4rat-lite-collect loglevel=6 resume=UUID=2d870469-0638-43c2-9e9e-165ffff73608"

This isn't working for me, it compiles, installs, and runs... but it doesn't actually create the log after collecting data, nor does it append to it after I created the file myself. After closing the process using -k --verbose I could see the likely culprit - it's excluding every file it's detecting for some reason:

Generating exclude file list ... 1608 open files 0 parsed from /var/lib/e4rat-lite/startup.log Total number of excluded files: 1608

So I figure because it's excluding everything, it does nothing. Is this happening to anyone else?

I have applied the fix as a patch. I am however not currently able to test and verify that the package still functions correctly, only that it builds correctly.

I think the build error is caused by this function in listener.cc:

void addSyscall(struct audit_rule_data* rule, const char* sc, int machine)
{
    int syscall_nr;
    syscall_nr = audit_name_to_syscall(sc, machine);
    if(syscall_nr == -1)
        throw std::logic_error(_("Cannot convert syscall to number"));

    audit_rule_syscall_data(rule, syscall_nr);
}

It seems that audit_rule_syscall_data is not available but using audit_rule_syscallbyname_data (ref).

This seems to fix the problem: 

void addSyscall(struct audit_rule_data* rule, const char* sc, int machine)
{
    audit_rule_syscallbyname_data(rule, sc);
}

I'm having the same problem building as simona.

It would appear the upstream source has been updated, and from my testing has corrected the build errors. If any new issues crop up, feel free to comment here, however it would be wise to also notify on upstream github.
