The A10 Networks ADC must send Emergency messages to the Console, Syslog, and Monitor.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-68075	AADC-NM-000098	SV-82565r1_rule		Low

Description
It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without a real-time alert, security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability and system operation may be adversely affected. Alerts provide organizations with urgent messages. Real-time alerts provide these messages immediately (i.e., the time from event detection to alert occurs in seconds or less).
