The MySQL Database Server 8.0 must provide an immediate real-time alert to appropriate support staff of all audit log failures.

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 Information System Security Officer (ISSO) and the database administrator (DBA)/system administrator (SA). A failure of database auditing will result in either the database continuing to function without auditing or in a complete halt to database operations. When audit processing fails, appropriate personnel must be alerted immediately to avoid further downtime or unaudited transactions. 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-235176r961401_chk)

Review MySQL 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-38358r623649_fix)

Configure the system to provide immediate real-time alerts to appropriate support staff when an audit log failure occurs.
