Description
It is essential for security personnel to know what is being done, what was attempted, where it was done, when it was done, and by whom it was done in order to compile an accurate risk assessment. Logging the date and time of each detected event provides a means of investigating an attack, recognizing resource utilization or capacity thresholds, or identifying an improperly configured network device. In order to establish and correlate the series of events leading up to an outage or attack, it is imperative the date and time are recorded in all log records.

Check Text ( C-76559r1_chk )
Verify the DBN-6300 is connected to the syslog server. Navigate to Settings >> Advanced >> Syslog. Verify that the syslog services are set to "on", the syslog server information is valid, and the syslog server has connected. Navigate to Settings >> Advanced >> Audit Log. Verify that the Audit Syslog, "Use System Syslog" button is set to "Yes" and the Audit Configuration Categories are all checked for Audit Log, Syslog, and Audit Console. Following this verification, process an auditable action. Confirm the presence of a syslog message on the syslog server containing date and time information for when the event occurred. If the DBN-6300 is not connected to the syslog server, or if the syslog server is connected but the message for the event does not contain date and time information, this is a finding.
