Details

Check Text ( C-22875r410974_chk )
Check the MongoDB configuration file (default location: '/etc/mongod.conf)' for a key named 'auditLog:'.

Example shown below:

auditLog:
destination: syslog

If an "auditLog:" key is not present, this is a finding indicating that auditing is not turned on.

If the "auditLog:" key is present and contains a subkey of "filter:" with an associated filter value string, this is a finding.

The site auditing policy must be reviewed to determine if the "filter:" being applied meets the site auditing requirements. If not, then the filter being applied will need to be modified to comply.

Example show below:

auditLog:
destination: syslog
filter: '{ atype: { $in: [ "createCollection", "dropCollection" ] } }'
Fix Text (F-22864r410975_fix)
If the "auditLog" setting was not present in the MongoDB configuration file (default location: '/etc/mongod.conf)' edit this file and add a configured "auditLog" setting:

auditLog:
destination: syslog

Stop/start (restart) the mongod or mongos instance using this configuration.

If the "auditLog" setting was present and contained a "filter:" parameter, ensure the "filter:" expression does not prevent the auditing of events that should be audited or remove the "filter:" parameter to enable auditing all events.
