CAT III

The Central Log Server must be configured to aggregate log records from organization-defined devices and hosts within its scope of coverage.

From: Central Log Server Security Requirements Guide (V3R4)

Description

<VulnDiscussion>If the application is not configured to collate records based on the time when the events occurred, the ability to perform forensic analysis and investigations across multiple components is significantly degraded. Centralized log aggregation must also include logs from databases and servers (e.g., Windows) that do not natively send logs using the syslog protocol.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

Check Procedure

Examine the documentation that lists the scope of coverage for the specific log server being reviewed. Verify the system is configured to aggregate log records from organization-defined devices and hosts within its scope of coverage. If the Central Log Server is not configured to aggregate log records from organization-defined devices and hosts within its scope of coverage, this is a finding.

Fix Text

For each log server, configure the server to aggregate log records from organization-defined devices and hosts within its scope of coverage.
