Verify "audispd" offloads audit records onto a different system or media from SLEM 5 being audited with the following command: > sudo grep remote_server /etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf remote_server = 240.9.19.81 If "remote_server" is not set to an external server or media, or is commented out, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-65059r996132_fix)

Configure SLEM 5 to offload audit records onto a different system or media. Add or modify the following line in the "/etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf" file: remote_server = <ip_address>
