Auditd : Transfer Logs to Remote Host2023/02/20 |
|
Configure Auditd to transfer logs to remote host.
This example is based on the environment like follows. +----------------------+ | +----------------------+ | [ Auditd Server ] |10.0.0.30 | 10.0.0.51| [ Auditd Client ] | | dlp.srv.world +----------+----------+ node01.srv.world | | | | | +----------------------+ +----------------------+ |
|
| [1] | Configure Auditd Host that receives Audit logs from remote hosts. |
|
[root@dlp ~]#
vi /etc/audit/auditd.conf # line 27 : uncomment and specify listening port tcp_listen_port = 60
service auditd restart # fail by [systemctl restart] because of dependency |
| [2] | If Firewalld is running on Audit receiver Host, allow audit service. |
|
[root@dlp ~]# firewall-cmd --add-service=audit success [root@dlp ~]# firewall-cmd --runtime-to-permanent success |
| [3] | Configure Auditd Client Host that sends Audit logs. |
|
[root@node01 ~]#
dnf -y install audispd-plugins
[root@node01 ~]#
vi /etc/audit/plugins.d/au-remote.conf # line 6 : change active = yes
[root@node01 ~]#
vi /etc/audit/audisp-remote.conf # line 6 : remote host to send logs remote_server = dlp.srv.world
# line 7 : specify port # ⇒ the one which remote server is listening port = 60
[root@node01 ~]#
vi /etc/audit/auditd.conf # line 9 : change # ⇒ not record logs on local filesystem log_format = NOLOG
service auditd restart |
| [4] | That's OK, Audit logs on remote hosts are recorded like follows. |
