| Description |
|---|
| Information stored in one location on a disk may be vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. The ability to off-load those files is a common process used while managing information systems. |
| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| Verify auditing is configured to send events to a central log server by using the following command: $ sudo grep -i action(type="omfwd" target="<Syslog Server IP > " port="3514" protocol="tcp" action.resumeRetryCount="100" queue.type="linkedList" queue.size="10000") If auditing is configured to send events to a central log server, this is a finding. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| Configure "rsyslog.d" service to send NetIM audit logs to central syslog. 1. Add or modify the following line in the "/etc/rsyslog.d" file: $ sudo nano /etc/rsyslog.d/60-netim.conf 2. Add the following text: *.* action(type="omfwd" target="<Syslog Server IP > " port="3514" protocol="tcp" action.resumeRetryCount="100" queue.type="linkedList" queue.size="10000") 3. Restart rsyslog service. $ sudo service rsyslog restart |
