Discussion

The container platform and its components must generate audit records using either Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) or Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) time stamps or local time that offset from UTC. All the components must use the same standard so that the events can be tied together to understand what took place within the overall container platform. Time stamps generated by the container platform and its components must include date and time.

Check Content

Review the container platform documentation and configuration files to determine if time stamps for log records can be mapped to UTC or GMT or local time that offsets from UTC. 

If the time stamp cannot be mapped to UTC or GMT, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the container platform to use UTC or GMT or local time that offset from UTC based time stamps for log records.
