The Oracle Linux operating system must label all off-loaded audit logs before sending them to the central log server.
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. 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.
