Granularity of time measurements refers to the degree of synchronization between information system clocks and reference clocks.

Examine the configuration. Verify the Central Log Server records time stamps for when log records are received by the log server that meet a granularity of one second for a minimum degree of precision. If the Central Log Server is not configured to record time stamps for when log records are received by the log server that meet a granularity of one second for a minimum degree of precision, this is a finding.

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.
