Discussion

Misuse of privileged functions, either intentionally or unintentionally by authorized users, or by unauthorized external entities that have compromised information system accounts, is a serious and ongoing concern and can have significant adverse impacts on organizations. Auditing the use of privileged functions is one way to detect such misuse and identify the risk from insider threats and the advanced persistent threat.

Check Content

From the BIG-IP GUI:
1. System.
2. Logs.
3. Configuration.
4. Options.
5. Under Local Traffic Logging:
 a. MCP: Notice.
 b. SSL: Informational.
 c. Traffic Management OS: Informational.
6. Under Audit Logging:
 a. MCP: Enable.

From the BIG-IP console, type the following commands:

tmsh list sys daemon-log-settings tmm os-log-level

Note: This command must return a value of "informational".

tmsh list sys daemon-log-settings tmm ssl-log-level

Note: This must return a value of "informational":

tmsh list sys daemon-log-settings mcpd audit

Note: This must return a value of "enabled".

tmsh list sys daemon-log-settings mcpd log-level

Note: This must return a value of "notice".

tmsh list sys db log.ssl.level value

Note: This must return a value of "informational".

If the BIG-IP appliance is not configured to audit the execution of privileged functions, this is a finding.
