NAME¶
aa-show-usage - Check which profiles are used
SYNOPSIS¶
aa-show-usage [option]
DESCRIPTION¶
aa-show-usage will display data on the usage of the profiles of the system
OPTIONS¶
aa-show-usage accepts the following arguments:
- -s, --show-type {all,used,unused}
- Type of profiles to show
- -j, --json
- Output in JSON
- -d, --dir
- Path to profiles
- --show-matching-path
- Show the path of a file matching the profile. Only the first matching path of an executable is shown (not the whole list).
FILTERING OPTIONS¶
aa-show-usage accepts the following filters to reduce the output of information to only those entries that will match the filter. Filters use Python's regular expression syntax.
- --filter.flags FLAGS
- Filter by flags
- --filter.profile_name PROFILE_NAME
- Filter by profile name
- --filter.profile_attach PROFILE_ATTACH
- Filter by profile attachment (i.e. by path of the executable to which this profile applies)
- --filter.profile_path PROFILE_PATH
- Filter by profile path
EXAMPLES¶
Show both the list of used and unused profiles in your system.
$ aa-show-usage
Show the list of unconfined profiles currently used by your system.
$ aa-show-usage --show-type=used --filter.flags=unconfined
BUGS¶
aa-show-usage needs to be able to read profiles to tell whether they are used in practice.
aa-show-usage will only report directly used profiles. Profiles used via profile transitions, systemd's AppArmorProfile=, or API call such as aa-exec are not shown as used.
