Check Text (C-275674r1148072_chk)
Verify there is a script that off-loads audit data and the script runs weekly by using the following command:
Note: If the system is not connected to a network, this requirement is not applicable.
$ ls /etc/cron.weekly
<audit_offload_script_name>
Check if the script inside the file off-loads audit logs to external media.
If the script file does not exist or does not off-load audit logs, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-79681r1148071_fix)
Create a script that off-loads audit logs to external media and runs weekly.
The script must be located in the "/etc/cron.weekly" directory.
