+ Serial ModSecurity / libmodsecurity audit logs (for example
+ ``/var/log/modsec_audit.log``). Logcollector gathers one transaction
+ from the ``--id-A--`` header through the ``--id-Z--`` trailer and
+ emits a single event for analysisd.
+
+ **Example:**
+
+ .. code-block:: xml
+
+
+ modsec-audit
+ /var/log/modsec_audit.log
+
+
+ Prefer monitoring the web server error log when possible; Apache and
+ Nginx ModSecurity error-log lines are also decoded. Use
+ ``modsec-audit`` when you need the full serial audit file.
