Hello @A.Alharbi095930 
Thanks for reaching out on LiveCommunity!

As you know, the root user has full control over Linux, so there is currently no ETA for Tamper Protection on Linux. You may reach out to your Account Manager for more information.

However, if you have Pro per GB, you can use the Collector to collect logs from the /var/log/traps directory. Additionally, for more extensive or backup log collection, you can configure rsyslog or syslog-ng to forward logs from that directory to another system and collect those events on the remote host. While none of these methods are completely tamper-resistant, any attempts to shut down one of these services will be detected and reported by the others, providing at least some level of visibility into such activity.
