SV-77239r1_rule The Palo Alto Networks security platform must generate an immediate alert when allocated audit record storage volume reaches 75% of repository maximum audit record storage capacity.

Vulnerability discussion

If security personnel are not notified immediately upon storage volume utilization reaching 75%, they are unable to plan for storage capacity expansion. This could lead to the loss of audit information. Note that while the network device must generate the alert, notification may be done by a management server.

Check content

Go to Device >> Log Settings >> Alarms If the Traffic Log DB, Threat Log DB, Configuration Log DB, System Log DB, Alarm DB, and HIP Match Log DB fields are not "75", this is a finding.

Fix text

Go to Device >> Log Settings >> Alarms Select the "Edit" icon (the gear symbol in the upper-right corner of the pane). In the "Alarm Settings" window: Select the "Enable Alarms" box. In the "Traffic Log DB" field, enter "75". In the "Threat Log DB" field, enter "75". In the "Configuration Log DB" field, enter "75". In the "System Log DB" field, enter "75". In the "Alarm DB" field, enter "75". In the "HIP Match Log DB" field, enter "75". Select "OK". Commit changes by selecting "Commit" in the upper-right corner of the screen. Select "OK" when the confirmation dialog appears.

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.
