Discussion

Events of interest can be identified by the content of audit records, including system resources involved, information objects accessed, identities of individuals, event types, event locations, event dates and times, Internet Protocol addresses involved, or event success or failure. Organizations may define event criteria to any degree of granularity required, such as locations selectable by a general networking location or by specific system component.

Check Content

Verify the Central Log Server is configured to implement the capability to process, sort, and search audit records for events of interest based on organization-defined audit fields within audit records.

If the Central Log Server is not configured to implement the capability to process, sort, and search audit records for events of interest based on organization-defined audit fields within audit records, this is a finding.
