The Oracle Linux operating system must be configured to off-load audit logs onto a different system or storage media from the system being audited.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Off-loading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity. One method of off-loading audit logs in Oracle Linux is with the use of the audisp-remote dameon. Without the configuration of the "au-remote" plugin, the audisp-remote daemon will not off load the logs from the system being audited. Satisfies: SRG-OS-000342-GPOS-00133, SRG-OS-000479-GPOS-00224
