Discussion

In order to ensure network devices have a sufficient storage capacity in which to write the audit logs, they need to be able to allocate audit record storage capacity. The task of allocating audit record storage capacity is usually performed during initial device setup if it is modifiable. The value for the organization-defined audit record storage requirement will depend on the amount of storage available on the network device, the anticipated volume of logs, the frequency of transfer from the network device to centralized log servers, and other factors.

Verify that the Cisco router is configured with a logging buffer size as well as on the hard drive. The configuration should look like the example below:

logging archive
 device harddisk
 severity notifications
 file-size 10
 archive-size 100
…
…
…
logging buffered 8888888

If a logging buffer size and the archive size is not configured, this is a finding.

If the Cisco router is not configured to allocate audit record storage capacity in accordance with organization-defined audit record storage requirements, this is a finding.
