All distributions supported by the role already collect cron logs. The
role won't change the syslog configuration from the default.

---id: RHEL-07-021160 status: exception - manual intervention tag: misc ---

Ubuntu, CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux already capture the logs from cron.

Ubuntu systems collect cron job logs into the main syslog file (/var/log/syslog) rather than separate them into their own log file. CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems collect cron logs in /var/log/cron.

Deployers should not need to adjust these configurations unless a specific environment requires it. The tasks in the security role do not make changes to the rsyslog configuration.
