I don´t remember seeing much documentation for it, but AFAIK it´s just
a matter of defining a tcp_listen_port in /etc/audit/auditd.conf to
have it listen and collect.

       tcp_listen_port
              This is a numeric value in the range 1..65535 which,  if  speci-
              fied,  causes auditd to listen on the corresponding TCP port for
              audit records from remote  systems.  The  audit  daemon  may  be
              linked  with  tcp_wrappers. You may want to controll access with
              an entry in the hosts.allow and deny files.
