| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| Verify that the AlmaLinux OS 9 audit system is configured to resolve audit information before writing to disk with the following command: $ grep log_format /etc/audit/auditd.conf log_format = ENRICHED If the "log_format" option is not "ENRICHED", or the line is commented out, this is a finding. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| Edit the /etc/audit/auditd.conf file and add or update the "log_format" option: log_format = ENRICHED The audit daemon must be restarted for changes to take effect. |
