Information system auditing capability is critical for accurate forensic analysis. Audit record content that may be necessary to satisfy the requirement of this control, includes: time stamps, source and destination addresses, user/process identifiers, event descriptions, success/fail indications, filenames involved, and access control or flow control rules invoked.Application servers must log all relevant log data that pertains to application server functionality. Examples of relevant data include, but are not limited to, Java Virtual Machine (JVM) activity, HTTPD activity and application server-related system process activity.

Check content

1. Access EM 2. Select the domain from the navigation tree, and use the dropdown to select 'WebLogic Domain' -> 'Logs' -> 'View Log Messages' 3. Within the 'Search' panel, expand 'Selected Targets' 4. Click 'Target Log Files' icon for 'AdminServer' target 5. From the list of log files, select '.log' and click 'View Log File' button 6. All AS process logging of the AdminServer will be displayed 7. Repeat for each managed server If the managed servers or AdminServer does not have process events, this is a finding.

Fix text

1. Access AC 2. From 'Domain Structure', select 'Environment' -> 'Servers' 3. From the list of servers, select one which needs AS process logging configured 4. Utilize 'Change Center' to create a new change session 5. From 'Logging' tab -> 'General' tab, set the 'Log file name' field to 'logs/.log 6. Click 'Save', and from 'Change Center' click 'Activate Changes' to enable configuration changes

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
