Description
Ensure that the --audit-log-maxage argument is set to 30 or as appropriate. Retaining logs for at least 30 days ensures that you can go back in time and investigate or correlate any events. Set your audit log retention period to 30 days or as per your business requirements. Result: Pass

Who does this work

6 NICE work roles and 5 EC-Council certifications.

This is an inference across published mappings, not a single claim by anyone. This check maps to a control, which maps to a Cybersecurity Framework outcome, which NIST assigns to the work roles below. EC-Council separately maps its certifications to those same roles.

A certification prepares someone for a role. It is not evidence that a holder is qualified, and neither NIST nor EC-Council has stated that any certification here addresses this check.

Work-role assignments published by NIST (NICE Framework Components 2.2.0 and the CSF 2.0 OLIR crosswalk). Certification mappings published by EC-Council.

Check Text (C-254563r960906_chk)

Ensure audit-log-maxage is set correctly. Run the below command on the RKE2 Control Plane: /bin/ps -ef | grep kube-apiserver | grep -v grep If --audit-log-maxage argument is not set to at least 30 or is not configured, this is a finding. (By default, RKE2 sets the --audit-log-maxage argument parameter to 30.)

Fix Text (F-57996r918237_fix)

Edit the RKE2 Configuration File /etc/rancher/rke2/config.yaml on the RKE2 Control Plane and set the following "kube-apiserver-arg" argument: - audit-log-maxage=30 Once the configuration file is updated, restart the RKE2 Server. Run the command: systemctl restart rke2-server
