Vulnerability discussion

It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process logs as required. Log processing failures include software/hardware errors, failures in the log capturing mechanisms, and log storage capacity being reached or exceeded. Notification of the failure event will allow administrators to take actions so that logs are not lost.

Check content

Review the configuration settings to determine if the application server log system provides a real-time alert to authorized users when log failure events occur requiring real-time alerts. If designated alerts are not sent to authorized users, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the application server to provide a real-time alert to authorized users when log failure events occur that require real-time alerts.

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.
