Amazon Linux 2023 chronyd service must be enabled.

GROUP ID: V-274023RULE ID: SV-274023r1120057

Inaccurate time stamps make it more difficult to correlate events and can lead to an inaccurate analysis. Determining the correct time a particular event occurred on a system is critical when conducting forensic analysis and investigating system events. Sources outside the configured acceptable allowance (drift) may be inaccurate.

Solution

Configure Amazon Linux 2023 to have the chronyd service set to active with the following command:

$ sudo systemctl enable --now chronyd
