RHEL 9 must have the rsyslog package installed.

Rule version RHEL-09-652010 · STIG v2 · 2026-09-17

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.

Check

Verify RHEL 9 has the rsyslog package installed with the following command:

$ dnf list --installed rsyslog

Example output:

rsyslog.x86_64 8.2102.0-101.el9_0.1

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

Fix

Install the rsyslog package with the following command:

$ sudo dnf install rsyslog
