Discussion

Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Offloading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity. Satisfies: SRG-OS-000342, SRG-OS-000479, SRG-OS-000215, SRG-OS-000062

Check Content

1. Access the TanOS interactively.

2. Press "A" for "Appliance Configuration Menu," and then press "Enter".

3. Press "4" for "Syslog Configuration," and then press "Enter".

4. Press "1" for "Check current status," and then press "Enter".

If the syslog status page states "No existing TanOS syslog forwarding configuration found" this is a finding.

If the syslog status page states "Syslog forwarding configuration" and the SIEM administrator verifies that the destination SIEM is receiving the events correctly, this is not a finding.
