Disable Network Console (netconsole) The 'netconsole' service is responsible for loading the netconsole kernel module, which logs kernel printk messages over UDP to Asyslog server. This allows debugging of problems where disk logging fails and serial consoles are impractical. The 'netconsole' service can be disabled with the following command: '$ sudo systemctl disable netconsole' The 'netconsole' service is not necessary unless there is a need to debug kernel panics, which is not common. Fix: # # Disable netconsole for all run levels # chkconfig --level 0123456 netconsole off # # Stop netconsole if currently running # service netconsole stop oval:org.secpod.oval:def:48319 oval:org.secpod.oval:def:48780 oval:org.secpod.oval:def:48319 SCAP Repo OVAL Definition 2018-11-08
