ALMA-09-052270 - AlmaLinux OS 9 must label all offloaded audit logs before sending them to the central log server.

Information

When audit logs are not labelled 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.

Solution

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

name_format = HOSTNAME

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