ALMA-09-053040 - AlmaLinux OS 9 must be configured to forward audit records via TCP to a different system or media from the system being audited via rsyslog.

Information

Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration.

Off-loading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity.

Solution

Configure AlmaLinux OS 9 to offload audit records onto a different system or media from the system being audited via TCP using rsyslog by specifying the remote logging server in "/etc/rsyslog.conf"" or "/etc/rsyslog.d/[customfile].conf" with the name or IP address of the log aggregation server.
