Check Text ( C-43736r671248_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-43695r671249_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.

Fix Text (F-43695r671249_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.
