V-214235 Medium The Apache web server log files must only be accessible by privileged users.
V-214234 Medium The Apache web server must use a logging mechanism that is configured to alert the Information System Security Officer (ISSO) and System Administrator (SA) in the event of a processing failure.
V-214233 Medium An Apache web server, behind a load balancer or proxy server, must produce log records containing the client IP information as the source and destination and not the load balancer or proxy IP information with each event.
V-214231 Medium The Apache web server must have system logging enabled.
V-214232 Medium The Apache web server must generate, at a minimum, log records for system startup and shutdown, system access, and system authentication events.
