Information

AlmaLinux OS 9 must be configured to offload audit records onto a different system from the system being audited via syslog.

GROUP ID: V-269512
RULE ID: SV-269512r1050395

The auditd service does not include the ability to send audit records to a centralized server for management directly.

However, it can use a plug-in for audit event multiplexor (audispd) to pass audit records to the local syslog server.

Solution

Edit the /etc/audit/plugins.d/syslog.conf file and add or update the "active" option:

active = yes

The audit daemon must be restarted for changes to take effect.
