MariaDB must provide an immediate real-time alert to appropriate support staff of all audit failure events requiring real-time alerts.

| 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. The appropriate support staff include, at a minimum, the ISSO and the DBA/SA. 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-253729r961401_chk)
Review MariaDB Server settings, OS, or third-party logging software settings to determine whether a real-time alert will be sent to the appropriate personnel when auditing fails for any reason.
If real-time alerts are not sent upon auditing failure, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-57132r841711_fix)
Configure the system to provide an immediate real-time alert to appropriate support staff when a specified audit failure occurs.
It is possible to create scripts or implement third-party tools to enable real-time alerting for audit failures in MariaDB.
