[PATCH v5] audit: log nftables configuration change events once per table
From: Richard Guy Briggs
Date: Fri Mar 26 2021 - 13:40:41 EST
Reduce logging of nftables events to a level similar to iptables.
Restore the table field to list the table, adding the generation.
Indicate the op as the most significant operation in the event.
A couple of sample events:
