The ALG must provide an immediate real-time alert to the SA and IAO, at a minimum, of all audit failure events requiring real-time alerts.

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). This does not apply to audit logs generated on behalf of the device itself (management).

Check Text ( C-SRG-NET-000335-ALG-000053_chk )
Verify the ALG provides an immediate real-time alert to the SA and IAO, at a minimum, of all audit failure events requiring real-time alerts. If the ALG does not provide an immediate real-time alert to the SA and IAO, at a minimum, of all audit failure events requiring real-time alerts, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-SRG-NET-000335-ALG-000053_fix)
Configure the ALG to provide an immediate real-time alert to the SA and IAO, at a minimum, of all audit failure events requiring real-time alerts.
