Rsyslog will create logfiles that do not already exist on the system. This setting controls what permissions will be applied to these newly created files.
Rationale:
It is important to ensure that log files have the correct permissions to ensure that sensitive data is archived and protected.
Fix:
Edit the /etc/rsyslog.conf or any file in /etc/rsyslog.d and set $FileCreateMode option to 0640
Parameter:
[yes/no]
Technical Mechanism:
Edit the /etc/rsyslog.conf or any file in /etc/rsyslog.d and set $FileCreateMode option to 0640
