Description
If the system is not configured to select a user session to capture and view or produce a report, investigations into suspicious or harmful events would be hampered by the volume of information captured. The volume of information captured may also adversely impact the operation for the network. This only includes auditable events. The Central Log Server (i.e., SIEM, syslog server) should be able to correlate across multiple devices and hosts within its span of control to provide an aggregated view of the single user's activity.
