DB2 must utilize centralized management of the content captured in audit records generated by all components of DB2.

Description
Without the ability to centrally manage the content captured in the audit records, identification, troubleshooting, and correlation of suspicious behavior would be difficult and could lead to a delayed or incomplete analysis of an ongoing attack. The content captured in audit records must be managed from a central location (necessitating automation). Centralized management of audit records and logs provides for efficiency in maintenance and management of records, as well as the backup and archiving of those records. The DBMS may write audit records to database tables, to files in the file system, to other kinds of local repository, or directly to a centralized log management system. Whatever the method used, it must be compatible with off-loading the records to the centralized system.

Check Text (C-213719r879729_chk)

Run the following command to find the location of the audit data and archive data directories: $db2audit describe If this filesystem location is not compatible with the centralized audit management system, this is a finding. If DB2 is not used in conjunction with a centralized audit management system, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-14938r295207_fix)

Run the following command to set the audit data directory and archive data directory to the location which is compatible with the organization's centralized system: $db2audit configure datapath <AUDIT DATA DIRECTORY > archivepath <AUDIT ARCHIVE DIRECTORY> Note: See the following knowledgebase page for information regarding extracting Audit logs to syslog for any file system other than Windows: http://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSEPGG_10.5.0/com.ibm.db2.luw.admin.cmd.doc/doc/r0002072.html DB2 does not directly support syslog on windows. Devise an alternate method of log capture.
