The A10 Networks ADC must produce audit log records containing information (FQDN, unique hostname, management or loopback IP address) to establish the source of events.

Description
In order to compile an accurate risk assessment and provide forensic analysis, it is essential for security personnel to know the source of the event. The source may be a component, module, or process within the device or an external session, administrator, or device. Associating information about where the source of the event occurred provides a means of investigating an attack; recognizing resource utilization or capacity thresholds; or identifying an improperly configured device. When the event log or system log is written to a syslog server, the hostname is included with each record.
