Ubuntu 22.04 LTS must be configured to preserve log records from failure events.

Failure to a known state can address safety or security in accordance with the mission/business needs of the organization. Failure to a known secure state helps prevent a loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability in the event of a failure of the information system or a component of the system.

Preserving operating system state information helps to facilitate operating system restart and return to the operational mode of the organization with least disruption to mission/business processes.

Verify the log service is installed properly by using the following command:

     $ dpkg -l | grep rsyslog 
     ii     rsyslog     8.2112.0-2ubuntu2.2     amd64     reliable system and kernel logging daemon 

If the "rsyslog" package is not installed, this is a finding.

Check that the log service is enabled and active by using the following commands:

     $ systemctl is-enabled rsyslog.service 
     enabled  

     $ systemctl is-active rsyslog.service 
     active  

If "rsyslog.service" is not enabled and active, this is a finding.

Install the log service by using the following command:

     $ sudo apt-get install rsyslog 

Enable and activate the log service by using the following command:

     $ sudo systemctl enable rsyslog.service --now
