NAME

aa-status - display various information about the current AppArmor policy.  

SYNOPSIS

aa-status [option]  

DESCRIPTION

aa-status will report various aspects of the current state of AppArmor confinement. By default, it displays the same information as if the --verbose argument were given. A sample of what this looks like is:

  apparmor module is loaded.
  110 profiles are loaded.
  102 profiles are in enforce mode.
  8 profiles are in complain mode.
  Out of 129 processes running:
  13 processes have profiles defined.
  8 processes have profiles in enforce mode.
  5 processes have profiles in complain mode.

Other argument options are provided to report individual aspects, to support being used in scripts.  

OPTIONS

aa-status accepts only one argument at a time out of:

--enabled

returns error code if AppArmor is not enabled.

--profiled

displays the number of loaded AppArmor policies.

--enforced

displays the number of loaded enforcing AppArmor policies.

--complaining

displays the number of loaded non-enforcing AppArmor policies.

--verbose

displays multiple data points about loaded AppArmor policy set (the default action if no arguments are given).

--json

displays multiple data points about loaded AppArmor policy set in a JSON format, fit for machine consumption.

--pretty-json

same as --json, formatted to be readable by humans as well as by machines.

--help

displays a short usage statement.

 

EXIT STATUS

Upon exiting, aa-status will set its exit status to the following values:

0

if apparmor is enabled and policy is loaded.

1

if apparmor is not enabled/loaded.

2

if apparmor is enabled but no policy is loaded.

3

if the apparmor control files aren't available under /sys/kernel/security/.

4

if the user running the script doesn't have enough privileges to read the apparmor control files.

 

BUGS

aa-status must be run as root to read the state of the loaded policy from the apparmor module. It uses the /proc filesystem to determine which processes are confined and so is susceptible to race conditions.
