In order to be able to provide a forensic history of activity, the messaging server must ensure users who are granted a privileged role or those who utilize a separate distinct account when accessing privileged functions or data have their actions logged. If privileged activity is not logged, no forensic logs can be used to establish accountability for privileged actions that occur on the system. Instructions for using the amqsevt sample program to display instrumentation events may be found at the following URL: https://ibm.biz/BdsCzY Satisfies: SRG-APP-000343-AS-000030, SRG-APP-000016-AS-000013, SRG-APP-000495-AS-000220, SRG-APP-000499-AS-000224, SRG-APP-000503-AS-000228, SRG-APP-000504-AS-000229, SRG-APP-000509-AS-000234

For each queue manager on the MQ Appliance for which configuration events logging should be enabled, establish an SSH command line session as an admin user.

To access the MQ Appliance CLI, enter:
mqcli

To identify the queue managers, enter:
dspmq

To run the "runmqsc [queue mgr name]" command for each running queue manager, enter:
runmqsc [queue mgr name]
DIS QMGR CONFIGEV
CONFIGEV(ENABLED) - should be the result.
end

If "CONFIGEV" is not "ENABLED", this is a finding.
