NOTE: In the default configuration, the *aide --init* command checks just a set of directories and files defined in the `/etc/aide.conf` file. To include additional directories or files in the AIDE database, and to change their watched parameters, edit `/etc/aide.conf` accordingly.

IMPORTANT: To avoid SELinux denials after the AIDE database location change, update your SELinux policy accordingly.
