Man page output
man aa-status
AA-STATUS(8) AppArmor AA-STATUS(8)
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.
If you find any additional bugs, please report them at <https://bugs.launchpad.net/apparmor/+filebug>.
