Description
Logging network location information for each detected event provides a means of investigating an attack, recognizing resource utilization or capacity thresholds, or identifying an improperly configured firewall. In order to establish and correlate the series of events leading up to an outage or attack, it is imperative the source or object of the log record is recorded in all log records.

If the firewall application log records do not include the event location, this is a finding.
