| 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. Organizations must define audit failure events requiring an application to send an alarm. When those defined events occur, the application will provide a real-time alert to the appropriate personnel. Permanent not a finding - Remote logging is a VMware HG requirement. Due to remote logging, audit records are stored off-system. With hardware/software failures, the machine's status is tracked by the vCenter Server. The vSphere/vCenter Server host health monitoring tool allows you to monitor the health of a variety of host hardware components
including: CPU processors, Memory, Fans, Temperature, Voltage, Power, Network, Battery, Storage, Cable/Interconnect, Software components, and Watchdog. SNMP alerts are supported. |
