The Juniper router must be configured to generate an alert for all audit failure events.

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 a real-time alert, security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability and system operation may be adversely affected. Alerts provide organizations with urgent messages. Real-time alerts provide these messages immediately (i.e., the time from event detection to alert occurs in seconds or less).

Check Text ( C-18560r296577_chk )
Review the router configuration to verify that it is compliant with this requirement as shown in the example below. system { syslog { host x.x.x.x { any critical; } } Note: The parameter "critical" can be replaced with a lesser severity level (i.e., error, warning, notice, info). If the router is not configured to generate an alert for all audit failure events, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-18558r296578_fix)
Configure the router to send critical to emergency log messages to the syslog server as shown in the example below. set syslog host x.x.x.x any critical Note: The parameter "critical" can replaced with a lesser severity level (i.e., error, warning, notice, info).
