The Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system must configure the au-remote plugin to off-load audit logs using the audisp-remote daemon.
Overview

| Description |
|---|
| 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. Without the configuration of the "au-remote" plugin, the audisp-remote daemon will not off load the logs from the system being audited. Satisfies: SRG-OS-000342-GPOS-00133, SRG-OS-000479-GPOS-00224 |

| Verify the "au-remote" plugin is configured to always off-load audit logs using the audisp-remote daemon: # cat /etc/audisp/plugins.d/au-remote.conf | grep -v "^#" active = yes direction = out path = /sbin/audisp-remote type = always format = string If the "direction" setting is not set to "out", or the line is commented out, this is a finding. If the "path" setting is not set to "/sbin/audisp-remote", or the line is commented out, this is a finding. If the "type" setting is not set to "always", or the line is commented out, this is a finding. |
