Title

RHEL 10 must write audit records to disk.

Control

Verify the RHEL 10 audit system is configured to write logs to the disk with the following command: $ sudo grep write_logs /etc/audit/auditd.conf write_logs = yes If "write_logs" does not have a value of "yes", the line is commented out, or the line is missing, this is a finding.

Discussion

Audit data must be synchronously written to disk to ensure log integrity. This setting ensures that all audit event data is written to disk.
