Discussion

Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Off-loading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity.

Check Content

If another package is used to offload logs, such as syslog-ng, and is properly configured, this is not applicable.

At the command line, run the following command to verify rsyslog is enabled and running:

# systemctl status rsyslog

If the rsyslog service is not enabled and running, this is a finding.

Fix Text

At the command line, run the following commands:

# systemctl enable rsyslog
# systemctl start rsyslog
