Discussion

Organizations are required to use a central log management system, so, under normal conditions, the audit space allocated to the DBMS on its own server will not be an issue. However, space will still be required on the DBMS server for audit records in transit, and, under abnormal conditions, this could fill up. Since a requirement exists to halt processing upon audit failure, a service outage would result. If support personnel are not notified immediately upon storage volume utilization reaching 75 percent, they are unable to plan for storage capacity expansion. The appropriate support staff include, at a minimum, the ISSO and the DBA/SA.

Review system configuration to determine if appropriate support staff are not notified immediately upon storage volume utilization reaching 75 percent.

If the Organization is not using Ops Director, or a third-party tool for storage volume utilization/alerting, this is a finding.
