Riverbed Optimization System (RiOS) must alert the ISSO and SA (at a minimum) in the event of an audit processing failure.

Overview

Finding ID	Version	Rule ID	IA Controls	Severity
V-62917	RICX-DM-000054	SV-77407r1_rule		Medium

Description
It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without this notification, the security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability and system operation may be adversely affected. Audit processing failures include software/hardware errors, failures in the audit capturing mechanisms, and audit storage capacity being reached or exceeded.
