I tried my best to configure the audisp-remote.
I am getting below error on the client machine in /var/log/syslog.
Oct 2 14:41:15 xxxxxx audisp-remote: Error connecting to
192.168.103.7: Connection refused
192.168.103.7 is the IP address of the central log server.
Notes: My settings are below:
on server as well on client:
/etc/audisp/audisp-remote
remote_server = 192.168.103.7
port = 6999
local_port = 6999
transport = tcp
queue_file = /var/spool/audit/remote.log
mode = immediate
queue_depth = 2048
format = ascii
network_retry_time = 100
I have enabled name_format=HOSTNAME only in one place (in /etc/audisp/audispd.conf - and not in /etc/audit/auditd.conf
entries in auditd.conf:
rtcp_listen_port = 6999
tcp_listen_queue = 5
tcp_max_per_addr = 10
tcp_client_ports = 0-65535
tcp_client_max_idle = 0
I see the server is listening on the port 6999 as below but its not accepting client request.
