Title:
Ensure systemd-journal-remote is enabled
Description:
Journald (via systemd-journal-remote ) supports the ability to send log events it gathers to
a remote log host or to receive messages from remote hosts, thus enabling centralized log
management.
Rationale:
Storing log data on a remote host protects log integrity from local attacks. If an attacker
gains root access on the local system, they could tamper with or remove log data that is
stored on the local system.
Audit:
Verify systemd-journal-remote is enabled.
Run the following command:
# systemctl is-enabled systemd-journal-upload.service
enabled
Remediation:
Run the following command to enable systemd-journal-remote :
# systemctl --now enable systemd-journal-upload.service
Parameter:
[yes/no]
Technical Mechanism:
Remediation:
Run the following command to enable systemd-journal-remote :
# systemctl --now enable systemd-journal-upload.service
