The Cisco router must alert the ISSO and SA (at a minimum) in the event of an audit processing failure.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-96399	CISC-ND-000340	SV-105537r1_rule		Medium

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 this notification, the security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability and system operation may be adversely affected. Audit processing failures include software/hardware errors, failures in the audit capturing mechanisms, and audit storage capacity being reached or exceeded.

Check Text ( C-95235r1_chk )
The Cisco router is not compliant with this requirement. However, the risk associated with this requirement can be fully mitigated if the router is configured to send logs to a syslog server that can send alerts to the appropriate personnel. Verify that the router is configured to send logs to a syslog server. The configuration should look similar to the example below: logging 10.1.3.22 vrf default severity info If the router is not configured to send log messages to a syslog server, this is a finding.
