RHEL 9 must label all offloaded audit logs before sending them to the central log server.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Enriched logging is needed to determine who, what, and when events occur on a system. Without this, determining root cause of an event will be much more difficult. When audit logs are not labeled before they are sent to a central log server, the audit data will not be able to be analyzed and tied back to the correct system.
