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 a real-time alert, security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability and system operation may be adversely affected. Alerts provide organizations with urgent messages. Real-time alerts provide these messages immediately (i.e., the time from event detection to alert occurs in seconds or less).

Check Text (C-220497r991965_chk)

Review the Cisco switch configuration to verify that it is compliant with this requirement as shown in the example below: logging server 10.1.48.10 2 Note: The parameter 2 (critical) can replaced with a lesser severity level 3 through 6 (i.e. error, warning, notice, informational). Informational is the default severity level; hence, if the severity level is configured to informational, the parameter 7 will not be shown in the configuration. If the Cisco switch is not configured to generate an alert for all audit failure events, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-22201r539213_fix)

Configure the Cisco switch to send critical to emergency log messages to the syslog server as shown in the example below: SW4(config)# logging server 10.1.48.10 2 Note: The parameter 2 (critical) can replaced with a lesser severity level 3 through 6 (i.e. error, warning, notice, informational).
