How do you generate an audit report file and dump the collection file so that it is available for further audit records to be logged?

To generate an audit report file and dump the collection file:

The '-r' flag for the auditadm command generates an audit report text file.
The '-d' flag 'dumps' the audit collection file to make it available once again to log audit events.
These commands have to be specified in separate commands as follows:

mfauditadm -r -o audit_text_file.out -f audit_events.aud_1 mfauditadm -d -f audit_events.aud_1

Note that the current status of the audit collection files can be obtained as follows:

mfauditadm -f audit_events.aud_1
