I configured auditd to send the logs to SIEM through rsyslog. But when I get those logs the proctitle is in hex.

Ex.:

<134>Aug 25 17:08:44 vmauditd tag_audit_log: node=vmauditd type=PROCTITLE msg=audit(1692983317.146:7444): proctitle=6E63002D6C766E700032323232

I would like it to come like this:

<134>Aug 25 17:08:44 vmauditd tag_audit_log: node=vmauditd type=PROCTITLE msg=audit(1692983317.146:7444): proctitle=nc -lvnp 2222

How do I configure audit so that this is possible?

I read here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/html/security_guide/sec-understanding_audit_log_files that ..."The field is encoded in hexadecimal notation to not allow the user to influence the Audit log parser."

I've seen in some places some people putting the proctitle in ascii, but I'm not 100% sure if it was an output of ausearch -i.
