Information

The OL 8 audit system must audit local events.

GROUP ID: V-248729
RULE ID: SV-248729r991589

Without establishing what type of events occurred, the source of events, where events occurred, and the outcome of events, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events leading up to an outage or attack.

Audit record content that may be necessary to satisfy this requirement includes, for example, time stamps, source and destination addresses, user/process identifiers, event descriptions, success/fail indications, filenames involved, and access control or flow control rules invoked.

Solution

Configure OL 8 to audit local events on the system.

Add or update the following line in "/etc/audit/auditd.conf" file:

local_events = yes
