The network device must produce a system-wide audit trail composed of log records in a standardized format.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity

Description
Centrally logging the network device information provides a central location to store, view, analyze, and produce detailed reports on alerts. Auditing of account use and user actions is a critical part of the security architecture. Auditable events must be logged. If the network device becomes unable to write events to the audit log, this is known as an audit processing failure. Audit processing failures include software and hardware errors, failures in the audit capturing mechanisms, and audit storage capacity being reached or exceeded. Audit aggregation should be performed on the network device application audit log on the organization's central log server, thus this is not a function performed by network device management.
