If security personnel are not notified immediately upon storage volume utilization reaching 75 percent, they are unable to plan for storage capacity expansion. This could lead to the loss of audit information. Note that while the MQ Appliance network device must generate the alert, notification may be done by a management server. At the syslog server, set up event notification triggers for the following event codes: 0x80c0006a, 0x82400067, 0x00330034, 0x80400080. Note: The above notifications will occur if there is an interruption in logging information being sent to its intended external logging target. Configuring notification of storage capacity events occurring at the external logging server (e.g., 75 percent capacity) is the responsibility of that server's server administrator. Satisfies: SRG-APP-000359-NDM-000294, SRG-APP-000360-NDM-000295 |

Log on to the MQ Appliance CLI as a privileged user. Enter: co show logging target All configured logging targets will be displayed. Verify: - This list includes a remote syslog notification target; and - It includes all desired log event source and log level parameters: event audit info event auth notice event mgmt notice event cli notice event user notice event system error Ask the system admin to provide evidence the following alert triggers have been set up: 0x80c0006a, 0x82400067, 0x00330034, 0x80400080. Verify alerts are immediately sent when syslog storage capacity reaches 75% of maximum audit record storage capacity. If any is not true, this is a finding. |
