Discussion

An accurate and current audit trail is essential for maintaining a record of system activity. If the logging system fails, the SA must be notified and must take prompt action to correct the problem. Minimally, the system must log this event and the SA will receive this notification during the daily system log review. If feasible, active alerting (such as e-mail or paging) should be employed consistent with the site's established operations management systems and procedures.

Check Content

Interview the ISSO.

Determine if logging failure events are monitored, and warnings provided to the ISSO.

If logging failure events do not provide warnings in accordance with organization policies, this is a finding.

If alerts are not sent or the web server is not configured to use a dedicated logging tool that meets this requirement, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Ensure logging failures result in warnings to the ISSO and SA at a minimum.
