Description
The aggregation of log data kept on a syslog server can be used to detect attacks and trigger an alert to the appropriate security personnel. The stored log data can used to detect weaknesses in security that enable the network IA team to find and address these weaknesses before breaches can occur. Reviewing these logs, whether before or after a security breach, are important in showing whether someone is an internal employee or an outside threat.

Check Text ( C-50396r860697_chk )
Use "cluster log-forwarding show" to see if audit logs are being sent to a remote logging server. Sample output from the command: Verify Syslog Destination Host Port Protocol Server Facility ------------------------ ------ ----------------------- -------- -------- 192.168.0.1 514 udp-unencrypted false user If no remote logging servers are listed, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-50350r769223_fix)
Configure ONTAP for remote syslogging with "cluster log-forwarding create -destination ".
