Discussion

In the event of a system failure, AlmaLinux OS 9 must preserve any information necessary to determine cause of failure and any information necessary to return to operations with least disruption to system processes.

Check Content

Verify that "systemd-journald" is active with the following command:

$ systemctl status systemd-journald
 systemd-journald.service - Journal Service
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-journald.service; static)
     Active: active (running) since Tue 2024-02-20 11:02:20 UTC; 14min ago

If the systemd-journald service is not active, this is a finding.

Fix Text

To enable the systemd-journald service, run the following command:

$ systemctl enable --now systemd-journald
