Vulnerability discussion

To investigate an incident, the log records should be easily put into chronological order. Without sufficient granularity of time stamps, the chronological order cannot be determined.Time stamps generated by the application server include date and time. Granularity of time measurements refers to the degree of synchronization between information system clocks and reference clocks.

Check content

Review the application server documentation and configuration files to determine if time stamps for log records meet a granularity of one second. If the time stamp cannot generate to a one-second granularity, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure the application server to use time stamps for log records that can meet a granularity of one second.

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.
