The vCenter server must provide an immediate real-time alert to the system administrator (SA) and information system security officer (ISSO), at a minimum, 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. 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-258926r934436_chk)
Review the Central Logging Server being used to verify it is configured to alert the SA and ISSO, at a minimum, on any AO-defined events. Otherwise, this is a finding.
If there are no AO-defined events, this is not a finding.
