+.TH "RPM-AUDIT" "8" "28 Jan 2020" "Red Hat, Inc."
+.SH NAME
+rpm-plugin-audit \- Audit plugin for the RPM Package Manager
+
+.SH Description
+
+The plugin writes basic information about rpm transactions to the audit log - like packages installed or removed.
+
+There are currently no options with which the plugin can be configured.
+
+It can be disabled permanantly by commenting out the
+\fI%__transaction_audit\fR macro in main macros file
+(typically located at \fI/usr/lib/rpm/macros\fR) or otherwise change

Couple of things that go for all the plugin manuals:
Editing the main macros file is not good advice as that's supposed to represent the factory configuration and any subsequent updates will overwrite the changes. The right way to disable these is to redefine the macro to %{nil} in a /etc/rpm/macros.* file. It could also mention --noplugins as a means to temporarily disable all plugins.

As for audit, while we're actually documenting this stuff (whee!), lets also document how to actually find the events:
```ausearch -m SOFTWARE_UPDATE``` and if we really get wild, the attatched properties.
