The auth module tends to depend a lot on system configuration. Have we confirmed that:

• There's populated log files in /var/log/auth.log* or /var/log/secure*
• That this otherwise works in 7.14?

[amolnater-qasource]

Hi @fearful-symmetry
As per feedback we have revalidated this on 7.14.1 BC-2 and found it reproducible there too.

• No system.auth logs type data under Data Streams for SLES 15 linux.tar agent.

I don't see any errors in the logs. Can we verify if:

• There's populated log files in /var/log/auth.log* or /var/log/secure* on the host machine?
• Can we enable debug level logging?

hi - sorry I missed this, even 7 days ago, but I'm not certain SLES 15 is going to be cited as supported. Let's hold off until we get that decision. Our original manual test was a fact finding mission, here is a good fact to consider. We can ask the leadership group to confirm and circle back.

Having said that, I would prefer to run the same test of versions against one of our confirmed supported OSes to see, like a CentOS or Debian distro. If it is reproduced there, I'd log a separate bug to make it clear - but we can link them, in case any logging / info here is helpful. @amolnater-qasource @dikshachauhan-qasource we don't need to do any SLES 15 tests further until confirmed, except to test other OSes for potential bugs that may actually be evidenced elsewhere.

Hi @fearful-symmetry
Please find below attached debug level logs for SLES 15:

@EricDavisX thanks for the update, we will hold our testing on SLES 15 till further confirmation.

Please let us know if anything else is required from our end.
Thanks

Seconded.

Hi! We just realized that we haven't looked into this issue in a while. We're sorry! We're labeling this issue as Stale to make it hit our filters and make sure we get back to it as soon as possible. In the meantime, it'd be extremely helpful if you could take a look at it as well and confirm its relevance. A simple comment with a nice emoji will be enough :+1. Thank you for your contribution!

For me this is the same case than #3650 will be covered when elastic/beats#37086 will be done.

[nimarezainia]

do we think that this is now resolved because of elastic/integrations#11618 ??
