Description
It is critical when a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required, it detects and takes action to mitigate the failure. Audit processing failures include, software/hardware errors, failures in the audit capturing mechanisms, and audit storage capacity being reached or exceeded. Permanent not a finding - Auditing cannot be configured/implemented like a typical UNIX system.
