See Interface management and Supported interfaces for further details on how interfaces are used.

Developer details

Auto-connect: no
Super-privileged: yes

Unlike other *-support interfaces, there is no single official auditd snap for which this interface was intended to be used. Instead, snap packagers who wish to ship their own snap containing auditd or serving the role of auditd may request installation and connection of this interface.

The auditd-support interface grants access to the CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL capability, along with access to files commonly required by auditd.
