Vulnerability discussion

Protection of log data includes assuring log data is not accidentally lost or deleted. Backing up audit records to a different system or onto separate media than the system being audited on a defined frequency helps to assure, in the event of a catastrophic system failure, the audit records will be retained. This helps to ensure a compromise of the information system being audited does not also result in a compromise of the audit records.This requirement only applies to applications that have a native backup capability for audit records. Operating system backup requirements cover applications that do not provide native backup functions.

Check content

Navigate to Grid >> Grid Manager >> Grid Properties >> Monitoring tab. If "Log to External Syslog Servers" is enabled, an External Syslog Server must be configured. If no external SYSLOG server is available verify local procedure to retain audit logs. Logs can be downloaded by navigation to Administration >> Logs >> Audit Log tab and pressing the "Download" button. When complete, click "Cancel" to exit the "Properties" screen. If neither an external SYSLOG server is configured, or a local policy is in place to store audit logs, this is a finding.

Fix text

Navigate to Grid >> Grid Manager >> Grid Properties >> Monitoring tab. Enable "Log to External Syslog Servers" and configure an "External Syslog Server". Review Infoblox audit records on the remote SYSLOG server to validate operation. When complete, click "Save & Close" to save the changes and exit the "Properties" screen. Perform a service restart if necessary.

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.
