The auditd service does not include the ability to send audit records to a centralized server for management directly. It does, however, include an audit event multiplexor plugin (audispd) to pass audit records to the local syslog server.

Check Text ( C-19573r377291_chk )
Verify the audispd plugin is active: # grep active /etc/audisp/plugins.d/syslog.conf If the "active" setting is missing or set to "no", this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-19571r377292_fix)
Set the "active" line in "/etc/audisp/plugins.d/syslog.conf" to "yes". Restart the auditd process. # service auditd restart
