Description

Application server logging capability is critical for accurate forensic analysis. Without sufficient and accurate information, a correct replay of the events cannot be determined. Ascertaining the correct location or process within the application server where the events occurred is important during forensic analysis. To determine where an event occurred, the log data must contain data such as application components, modules, session identifiers, filenames, host names, and functionality.

Review the logs on the application server to determine if the logs contain information that establishes where within the application server the event occurred. The data in the log file should establish the component, module, session identifier, filename, host name, and functionality within the application server where an event occurred. If the application server does not log where within the application server the event took place, this is a finding.
