There are two kinds of events. There are the ones that are triggered by the 
rules you load, and there are rules that are hardwired to be logged because 
something significant happened. In this case the seccomp filter killed 
chromium-browse because it violated policy. It has nothing to do with your 
rules which have a rootcmd key.

To find the events triggered by your rule, use:
ausearch --start today -k rootcmd -i
