Rule to collect events for deleting a user
A successful userdel command has been detected in the system log files.
This rule is disabled by default. It can be enabled with an override targeting a specific Universal Linux instance, all Universal Linux instances, or a group of Universal Linux instances. If this rule is enabled, the RegExpFilter parameter should be overridden with a Regular Expression pattern that is appropriate for the target Linux operating system and version. System log messages for specific conditions may vary between operating systems and version.
A user was removed from the system. This monitor allows system administrators to track account/group creation and deletion.
The description of the alert and/or the output data item contains information on the event encountered. If the activity appears suspicious, please check the associated event details and any other events that happened around the time of this event.
