| Mark as not a finding if the site has a solution in place to prevent the device from running out of audit storage. Verify the device is configured to send system events to external syslog. If the organization has a centralized repository (or repositories) for secure transfer of audit log files, verify each log file is configured to transfer files to the appropriate repository. Each log file must be configured separately. [edit system syslog] file any info; archive size <65536..1073741824 bytes> files <1..1000> transfer-interval <5..2880 minutes> start-time " "URL" password "hashed PSK" } ## SECRET-DATA } Note: The URL format is: host any info; } Note: If using secure file transfer to offload log files, the Juniper device will immediately attempt to connect with the configured protocol, address, and credentials. If successful, Junos will prompt to accept an untrusted public key. If the administrator accepts that key, Junos adds it to [edit security ssh-known-hosts]. Alternately, configure the trusted public key at [edit security ssh-known-hosts] before configuring automatic file offload. If the device does not offload audit records onto a different system or media, this is a finding. |
