Fileset for the Linux authorization logs auth (elastic#3669)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
* Filebeat module fileset for the Linux authorization logs

This adds a new fileset under the system module: system/auth. It parses
the authorization logs (typically `/var/log/auth.log` or `/var/log/secure`) and
creates events for things like:

* SSH login attempts
* Commands executed with SUDO
* New users or groups created

The fileset includes several dashboards for visualizing this data.

* Added dashboards for the system/auth module
