Operating system auditing capability is critical for accurate forensic analysis. Audit record content that may be necessary to satisfy the requirement of this control, includes, for example, time stamps, source and destination addresses, user/process identifiers, event descriptions, success/fail indications, file names involved, and access control or flow control rules invoked.
Centralized management of audit records and logs provides for efficiency in maintenance of records, as well as, the backup and archiving of those records. When organizations define application components that require requiring centralized audit log management, operating systems need to support the requirement.
