1.168 RHEL-10-500010

Information

RHEL 10 must audit local events.

GROUP ID: V-281098
RULE ID: SV-281098r1165649

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

If option "local_events" is not set to "yes", only events from the network will be aggregated.

Solution

Configure RHEL 10 to generate audit records for local events by adding or updating the following line in "/etc/audit/auditd.conf":

local_events = yes

Restart the audit daemon with the following command for the changes to take effect:

$ sudo service auditd restart
