Check Text ( C-18427r369753_chk )
Verify "audispd" off-loads audit records onto a different system or media from the SUSE operating system being audited.

Check if "audispd" is configured to off-load audit records onto a different system or media from the SUSE operating system by running the following command:

# sudo cat /etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf | grep remote_server
remote_server = 192.168.1.101

If "remote_server" is not set to an external server or media, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-18425r369754_fix)
Configure the SUSE operating system "/etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf" file to off-load audit records onto a different system or media by adding or editing the following line with the correct IP address:

remote_server = [IP ADDRESS]
