ONTAP must generate an immediate real-time alert of all audit failure events requiring real-time alerts.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity

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-50367r769135_chk )
Use "cluster log-forwarding show" to see if a remote syslog destination is defined for ONTAP. If ONTAP does not generate an immediate real-time alert of all audit failure events requiring real-time alerts, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-50321r769136_fix)
If no remote syslog servers are defined, use "cluster log-forwarding create" to define a syslog destination.
