Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration.
First, as the database administrator (shown here as "postgres"), ensure PostgreSQL uses syslog by running the following SQL: $ sudo su - postgres $ psql -c "SHOW log_destination" If log_destination is not syslog, this is a finding. Next, as the database administrator, check which log facility is configured by running the following SQL: $ psql -c "SHOW syslog_facility" Check with the organization to see how syslog facilities are defined in their organization. If the wrong facility is configured, this is a finding. If PostgreSQL does not have a continuous network connection to the centralized log management system, and PostgreSQL audit records are not transferred to the centralized log management system weekly or more often, this is a finding.
Note: The following instructions use the PGDATA and PGVER environment variables. See supplementary content APPENDIX-F for instructions on configuring PGDATA and APPENDIX-H for PGVER. Configure PostgreSQL or deploy and configure software tools to transfer audit records to a centralized log management system, continuously and in near-real time where a continuous network connection to the log management system exists, or at least weekly in the absence of such a connection. To ensure that logging is enabled, review supplementary content APPENDIX-C for instructions on enabling logging. With logging enabled, as the database administrator (shown here as "postgres"), configure the follow parameters in postgresql.conf (the example uses the default values - tailor for environment): Note: Consult the organization on how syslog facilities are defined in the syslog daemon configuration. $ sudo su - postgres $ vi ${PGDATA?}/postgresql.conf log_destination = 'syslog' syslog_facility = 'LOCAL0' syslog_ident = 'postgres' Now, as the system administrator, reload the server with the new configuration: # SYSTEMD SERVER ONLY $ sudo systemctl reload postgresql-${PGVER?} # INITD SERVER ONLY $ sudo service postgresql-${PGVER?} reload
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
.
