Description
"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.
ℹ️ Check
Verify TOSS 5 has the "rsyslogd" package installed using the following command:
$ sudo dnf list --installed rsyslog
Example output:
rsyslog.x86_64 8.2102.0-101.el9_0.1
If the "rsyslogd" package is not installed, this is a finding.
✔️ Fix
Install the "rsyslogd" package using the following command:
$ sudo dnf install rsyslogd
