ℹ️ Check
Verify "audispd" off-loads audit records onto a different system or media from the SUSE operating system being audited. Check if "audispd" is configured to off-load audit records onto a different system or media from the SUSE operating system by running the following command: > sudo grep remote_server /etc/audit/audisp-remote.conf remote_server = 192.168.1.101 If "remote_server" is not set to an external server or media, or is commented out, this is a finding.
