Check Text (C-269510r1050393_chk)

Verify that AlmaLinux OS 9 Audit Daemon is configured to label all offloaded audit logs, with the following command: $ grep name_format /etc/audit/auditd.conf name_format = HOSTNAME If the "name_format" option is not "HOSTNAME", "fqd", or "numeric", or the line is commented out, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-73442r1048907_fix)

Edit the /etc/audit/auditd.conf file and add or update the "name_format" option: name_format = HOSTNAME The audit daemon must be restarted for changes to take effect.
