1.175 RHEL-10-500045

Information

RHEL 10 must label all off-loaded audit logs before sending them to the central log server.

GROUP ID: V-281105
RULE ID: SV-281105r1166267

Enriched logging is needed to determine who, what, and when events occur on a system. Without this, determining root cause of an event will be much more difficult.

When audit logs are not labeled before they are sent to a central log server, the audit data will not be able to be analyzed and tied back to the correct system.

Satisfies: SRG-OS-000039-GPOS-00017, SRG-OS-000342-GPOS-00133, SRG-OS-000479-GPOS-00224

Solution

Configure RHEL 10 so that all off-loaded audit logs are labeled before sending them to the central log server.

Edit the "/etc/audit/auditd.conf" file and add or update the "name_format" option:

name_format = hostname

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

$ sudo service auditd restart
