Rule version OL09-00-000350 · STIG v1 · 2026-08-21

Discussion

rsyslogd is a system utility providing support for message logging. Support for both internet and Unix domain sockets enables this utility to support both local and remote logging. Couple this utility with "gnutls" (which is a secure communications library implementing the SSL, TLS, and DTLS protocols), to create a method to securely encrypt and offload auditing.

Satisfies: SRG-OS-000479-GPOS-00224, SRG-OS-000051-GPOS-00024

Check

Verify that OL 9 has the rsyslogd package installed with the following command:

$ dnf list --installed rsyslog Installed Packages rsyslog.x86_64 8.2310.0-4.el9 @AppStream

If the rsyslogd package is not installed, this is a finding.

Fix

The rsyslogd package can be installed with the following command:

$ sudo dnf install -y rsyslogd
