Check Text ( C-42830r662240_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 the "logserver" is commented out, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-42789r662241_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("10.10.10.10" port(514)); }; #log { source(src); destination(logserver); };

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("10.10.10.10" port(514)); };
#log { source(src); destination(logserver); };
