Audispd must offload audit records onto a different system or media from SLEM 5 being audited.

Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration.

Offloading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity.

Verify "audispd" offloads audit records onto a different system or media from SLEM 5 being audited with the following command:

     > sudo grep remote_server /etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf
     remote_server = 240.9.19.81

If "remote_server" is not set to an external server or media, or is commented out, this is a finding.

Configure SLEM 5 to offload audit records onto a different system or media.

Add or modify the following line in the "/etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf" file:

remote_server = <ip_address>
