AlmaLinux OS 9 audit system must audit local events.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

Without establishing what type of events occurred, the source of events, where events occurred, and the outcome of events, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events leading up to an outage or attack. If option "local_events" is not set to "yes", only events from network will be aggregated.
