TOSS 5 must label all offloaded audit logs before sending them to the central log server.

| Description | ||||
| Enriched logging is needed to determine who, what, and when events occur on a system. Without this, determining root cause of an event will be much more difficult. When audit logs are not labeled before they are sent to a central log server, the audit data will not be able to be analyzed and tied back to the correct system. | ||||

Verify that TOSS 5 Audit Daemon is configured to label all offloaded audit logs, with the following command:
$ sudo 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-86891r1201624_fix)
Edit the /etc/audit/auditd.conf file and add or update the "name_format" option:
name_format = hostname
Restart the audit daemon for changes to take effect.
