  1. “/etc/rsyslog.conf” <- CONFIGURATION file for rsyslog service, you don't need to monitor it for new entries
    "/var/log/kern.log" <- log file for KERNEL events, it doesn't monitor login attempts
    "/var/log/monitor" -< I don't think it exists?
    "/var/log/audit/audit.log" <- most correct answer, these are logs for audit daemon
