Title:
Ensure journald service is enabled
Description:
Ensure that the systemd-journald service is enabled to allow capturing of logging events.
Rationale:
If the systemd-journald service is not enabled to start on boot, the system will not capture
logging events.
Audit:
Run the following command to verify systemd-journald is enabled:
# systemctl is-enabled systemd-journald.service
Verify the output matches:
static
Remediation:
By default the systemd-journald service does not have an [Install] section and thus
cannot be enabled / disabled. It is meant to be referenced as Requires or Wants by other
unit files. As such, if the status of systemd-journald is not static , investigate why.
Parameter:
[yes/no]
Technical Mechanism:
