Vulnerability discussion

Protection of log data includes assuring log data is not accidentally lost or deleted. Backing up log records to a different system or onto separate media from the system the application server is actually running on helps to assure that in the event of a catastrophic system failure, the log records will be retained.

Check content

Review the application server configuration to determine if the application server backs up log records every seven days onto a different system or media from the system being logged. If the application server does not back up log records every seven days onto a different system or media from the system being logged, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the application server to back up log records every seven days onto a different system or media from the system being logged.

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.
