Details

Check Text ( C-89475r1_chk )
Check the syslog configuration file for remote syslog servers:

# cat /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf | grep logserver

If no line is returned, or "logserver" is commented out, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-96525r1_fix)
Edit the syslog configuration file and add an appropriate remote syslog server:

In the /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf file, the remote logging entries must be uncommented and the IP address must be modified to point to the remote syslog server:

#
# Enable this and adopt IP to send log messages to a log server.
#
destination logserver { udp("x.x.x.x" port(514)); };
log { source(src); destination(logserver); };

Note: Replace x.x.x.x with the appropriate IP address.
