The vRA PostgreSQL database must have log collection enabled.


Overview

Finding ID Version Rule ID IA Controls Severity
V-89459 VRAU-PG-000595 SV-100109r1_rule Medium
Description
If the configuration of the DBMS's auditing is spread across multiple locations in the database management software, or across multiple commands, only loosely related, it is harder to use and takes longer to reconfigure in response to events. The DBMS must provide a unified tool for audit configuration.
