Check Text ( C-2229r381941_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-2230r381942_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.
