Fix Recommendation

Configure the operating system to encrypt offloaded audit logs by installing the required packages with the following command:

$ sudo yum install rsyslog-gnutls

Check Contents

Verify the operating system has the packages required for encrypting offloaded audit logs installed with the following commands:

$ sudo yum list installed rsyslog-gnutls

rsyslog-gnutls.x86_64 8.1911.0-6.el8 @AppStream
