# Remote audit / syslog collector for the diskless fleet. # # Receives logs forwarded by booted diskless hosts and writes them # per-source-host. Diskless hosts have an immutable, RAM-only overlay root, # so their local audit log dies on reboot — this gives auditd somewhere durable # to offload to (STIG remote-audit-offload, deviation #6 in docs/stig-deviations.md). # # Primary intake is syslog-over-TLS on 6514 (gtls; server cert issued by the # fleet step-ca — see issue-cert.sh + README.md). Hosts authenticate the # collector via the fleet CA baked in the image (x509/name); the collector does # NOT require client certs (authMode "anon"): hosts are fleet-generic (no # per-host state, invariant #1) and a baked fleet-wide client key would be # shared secret material in the image. Sender access is instead constrained by # the isolated boot LAN + the serving-host firewall scoping :6514 to it. global( workDirectory="/var/spool/rsyslog" # TLS material for the 6514 listener, mounted from ./tls (issue-cert.sh). # NOTE: deliberately NOT setting DefaultNetstreamDriver="gtls" here — that # would flip every plain `protocol="tcp"` omfwd (the Wazuh relay below) to # TLS and break it.
