The "rsyslog" service must be restarted for the changes to take effect with the following command:

$ sudo systemctl restart rsyslog.service

Check Contents

Verify that OL 9 monitors all remote access methods.

Check that remote access methods are being logged by running the following command:

$ grep -rE '(auth.\*|authpriv.\*|daemon.\*)' /etc/rsyslog.conf
