Vulnerability discussion

If security personnel are not notified immediately upon storage volume utilization reaching 75 percent, they are unable to plan for storage capacity expansion.

Note: This is not applicable (NA) if an external application or operating system manages this function. Examine the configuration. Verify the system is configured to send an immediate warning to the SA and ISSO (at a minimum) when allocated log record storage volume reaches 75 percent of the repository's maximum log record storage capacity. If the Central Log Server is not configured to send an immediate alert to the SA and ISSO (at a minimum) when allocated log record storage volume reaches 75 percent of repository maximum log record storage capacity, 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.
