Vulnerability discussion

Auditing and logging are key components of any security architecture. Logging the actions of specific events provides a means to investigate an attack; to recognize resource utilization or capacity thresholds; or to identify an improperly configured network device. If auditing is not comprehensive, it will not be useful for intrusion monitoring, security investigations, and forensic analysis.

Check content

Go to Administration >> Miscellaneous >> Manage Log Targets. Verify the settings. If they are blank, this is a finding.

Fix text

Go to Administration >> Miscellaneous >> Manage Log Targets. Click the log target or add one. Go to the Event Subscriptions tab and click on the event categories that are required to be audited.

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.
