Fix Recommendation

Configure the "/etc/rsyslog.d" service to notify the SA and ISSO in the event of an audit processing failure.

1. Add or modify the following line in the "/etc/rsyslog.d" file:

action_mail_acct = <administrator_email_account>

Note: Change "administrator_email_account" to the email address of the SA and/or ISSO.

2. Restart rsyslog service.

$ sudo service rsyslog restart

Note: An email package must be installed on the system for email notifications to be sent.

Check Contents

Verify the system administrator (SA) and information system security officer (ISSO) are notified in the event of an audit processing failure by using the following command:

$ sudo grep -i action_mail_acct /etc/rsyslog.d
action_mail_acct = <administrator_email_account>

If "action_mail_acct" is not set to the email address of the SA and/or ISSO, is commented out, or is missing, this is a finding.
