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. Audit processing failures include, software/hardware errors, failures in the audit capturing mechanisms, and audit storage capacity being reached or exceeded. If audit log capacity were to be exceeded then events that subsequently occur will not be recorded. Permanent not a finding - Remote logging is a VMware HG requirement. Due to remote logging, audit records are stored off-system. SRG-OS-99999-ESXI5-000133
