So, based on our discussion can we conclude aide will not be able to
accept files present in symlinks as it's database entries, right?

To monitor the files located in a target directory, they must also match
the rules. For instance the rule `/(usr/)?lib R` would match both the
symlink /lib and the link target /usr/lib.

You can use --dry-init to show which files would be added to the
database, e.g.:

aide --before "/(usr/)?lib R" --dry-init
