Fix Recommendation

Edit the /etc/audisp/audispd.conf file and add or update the "name_format" option:

name_format = hostname

The audit daemon must be restarted for changes to take effect:

# service auditd restart

Check Contents

Verify the audisp daemon is configured to label all off-loaded audit logs:

# grep "name_format" /etc/audisp/audispd.conf

name_format = hostname

If the "name_format" option is not "hostname", "fqd", or "numeric", or the line is commented out, ask the System Administrator to indicate how the audit logs are off-loaded to a different system or storage media, and to indicate if the logs are labeled appropriately.

If there is no evidence that the system is configured to off-load audit logs to a different system or storage media, or if the configuration does not appropriately label logs before they are off-loaded, this is a finding.
