SV-26745r1_rule The system must use a remote syslog server (log host).

Vulnerability discussion

A syslog server (log host) receives syslog messages from one or more systems. This data can be used as an authoritative log source in the event a system is compromised and its local logs are suspect.

Check content

Check the syslog configuration file for remote syslog servers. # grep '@' /etc/syslog.conf | grep -v '^#' If no line is returned, this is a finding.

Fix text

Edit the syslog configuration file and add an appropriate remote syslog server.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
