Fix Recommendation

Configure OL 9 to produce audit records containing information to establish the identity of any individual or process associated with the event.

Edit the /etc/audit/auditd.conf file and add or update the "log_format" option:

log_format = ENRICHED

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

Restart auditd:
$ sudo service auditd restart

Check Contents

Verify that OL 9 audit system is configured to resolve audit information before writing to disk, with the following command:
