Without sufficient information to analyze the event, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events leading up to an outage or attack. Audit event content that must be included to satisfy this requirement includes, for example, time stamps, source and destination addresses, user/process identifiers, event descriptions, success/fail indications, filenames involved, and access control or flow control rules invoked. The NSX-T Distributed Firewall must also generate traffic log records when traffic is denied, restricted, or discarded as well as when attempts are made to send packets between security zones that are not authorized to communicate. Satisfies: SRG-NET-000074-FW-000009, SRG-NET-000075-FW-000010, SRG-NET-000076-FW-000011, SRG-NET-000077-FW-000012, SRG-NET-000078-FW-000013, SRG-NET-000492-FW-000006, SRG-NET-000493-FW-000007
From the NSX-T Manager web interface, go to Security >> Distributed Firewall >> All Rules. For each rule, click the gear icon and verify the Logging setting. If Logging is not enabled for any rule, this is a finding.

After all changes are made, click "Publish".
