Description
Logging the actions of specific events provides a means to investigate an attack, recognize resource utilization or capacity thresholds, or to simply identify an improperly configured network element. The network element must be configured to allocate enough log record storage capacity that will not become exhausted. Without this capability, the site could lose valuable data needed for investigating security incidents. The central audit server configuration must include an allocation of space sufficient for the firewall audit trail log. This configuration is not performed on the firewall, thus this requirement is not applicable.
