Check Text ( C-55855r1_chk )
Determine if the network device records time stamps for audit records that meet a granularity of one second for a minimum degree of precision. This requirement may be verified by demonstration or configuration.

If the network device does not record time stamps for audit records that meet a granularity of one second for a minimum degree of precision, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-60099r1_fix)
Configure the network device to record time stamps for audit records that meet a granularity of one second for a minimum degree of precision.
