Alert rule for successful "SU to root command" messages.
A successful 'su' command was detected in the system log files.
This rule is disabled by default. To enable this rule for monitoring, use overrides to configure the log file path and enable the rule. The log file path is set with the overridable property named LogFile, and the value must be set to the full path to the log file that will receive these events, as defined in the syslog configuration. Overrides can be used to change the parameter values for all instances or for specific instances or groups.
Users may have been granted access to privileged accounts. This rule allows system administrators to track 'su' usage.
The description of the alert and/or the output data item contains information on the event encountered. If 'su' usage appears suspicious, check the associated event details and any other events that happened around the time of this event.
