6.2.3.1 Ensure rsyslog is installed

Information

The rsyslog software is recommended in environments where journald does not meet operation requirements.

The security enhancements of rsyslog such as connection-oriented (i.e. TCP) transmission of logs, the option to log to database formats, and the encryption of log data en route to a central logging server) justify installing and configuring the package.

Solution

Run the following command to install rsyslog :

# dnf install rsyslog
