Description
Information system auditing capability is critical for accurate forensic analysis. Audit record content that may be necessary to satisfy the requirement of this control includes time stamps, source and destination addresses, user/process identifiers, event descriptions, success/fail indications, filenames involved, and access control or flow control rules invoked. Application servers must log all relevant log data that pertains to app server functionality.

Check Text ( C-43542r1_chk )
Review the AS audit log configuration to determine if the AS produces audit records for the HTTPD web server functionality. Check to ensure logs contain severity levels for corresponding recorded events. If the HTTPD component of the AS does not log or does not have an event severity level, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-39708r1_fix)
Configure the AS audit logs to include all HTTPD related events and severity levels in audit records.
