I'm sometimes getting a lot of these AUDIT log entries in



...

[UFW AUDIT] IN= OUT=eth0 SRC=176.58.105.134 DST=194.238.48.2 LEN=76 TOS=0x10 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=32137 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=36231 DPT=123 LEN=56
[UFW ALLOW] IN= OUT=eth0 SRC=176.58.105.134 DST=194.238.48.2 LEN=76 TOS=0x10 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=32137 DF PROTO=UDP SPT=36231 DPT=123 LEN=56
[UFW AUDIT] IN= OUT=lo SRC=192.168.192.254 DST=192.168.192.254 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=54579 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=59488 DPT=30002 WINDOW=32792 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0

[UFW AUDIT] IN=lo OUT= MAC=00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:00:08:00 SRC=192.168.192.254 DST=192.168.192.254 LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=4319 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=59489 DPT=30002 WINDOW=32792 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0

...


What is the meaning of this? When do they occur and why? Should and can I disable these specific entries? I do not wish to disable UFW logging, but I'm not sure whether these lines are useful at all.



Note that this does not actually occur in /var/log/ufw.log. It only occurs in /var/log/syslog. Why is this the case?

Set your logging to low to remove the AUDIT messages.



The purpose of AUDIT (from what I'm seeing) is related to the non-default/recommended logging - however, that's a guess, and I can't seem to find anything concrete with that.
