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. Audit processing failures include, software/hardware errors, failures in the audit capturing mechanisms, and audit storage capacity being reached or exceeded. When an audit process failure occurs, it is imperative for the mobile device management (MDM) server to be notified, which can direct this information to the appropriate person or process.
