Fix Recommendation

Enable auditing of processes that start prior to the audit daemon with the following command:

$ sudo grubby --update-kernel=ALL --args="audit=1"

Add or modify the following line in "/etc/default/grub" to ensure the configuration survives kernel updates:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="audit=1"

Check Contents

Verify that GRUB 2 is configured to enable auditing of processes that start prior to the audit daemon with the following command:

$ sudo grubby --info=ALL | grep audit

args="ro crashkernel=auto resume=/dev/mapper/rhel-swap rd.lvm.lv=rhel/root rd.lvm.lv=rhel/swap rhgb quiet fips=1 audit=1 audit_backlog_limit=8192 pti=on

If "audit" is not set to "1" or is missing, this is a finding.
