SRG-APP-000033
Group -
The Central Log Server must be configured to enforce approved authorizations for logical access to information and system resources in accordance with applicable access control policies.
To mitigate the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive information by entities that have been issued certificates by DoD-approved PKIs, all DoD systems (e.g., networks, web servers, and web porta...Rule High Severity -

SRG-APP-000086
Group -
The Central Log Server must be configured to aggregate log records from organization-defined devices and hosts within its scope of coverage.
If the application is not configured to collate records based on the time when the events occurred, the ability to perform forensic analysis and investigations across multiple components is signifi...Rule Low Severity -

SRG-APP-000086
Group -
Where multiple log servers are installed in the enclave, each log server must be configured to aggregate log records to a central aggregation server or other consolidated events repository.
Log servers (e.g., syslog servers) are often used on network segments to consolidate from the devices and hosts on that network segment. However, this does not achieve compliance with the DoD requi...Rule Medium Severity -
SRG-APP-000089
Group -
The Central Log Server must be configured to retain the DoD-defined attributes of the log records sent by the devices and hosts.
Log records can be generated from various components within the application (e.g., process, module). Certain specific application functionalities may be audited as well. The list of audited events ...Rule Medium Severity -

SRG-APP-000115
Group -
The Central Log Server must be configured to perform on-demand filtering of the log records for events of interest based on organization-defined criteria.
The ability to specify the event criteria that are of interest provides the persons reviewing the logs with the ability to quickly isolate and identify these events without having to review entries...Rule Low Severity -
SRG-APP-000116
Group -
The Central Log Server must be configured to use internal system clocks to generate time stamps for log records.
Without an internal clock used as the reference for the time stored on each event to provide a trusted common reference for the time, forensic analysis would be impeded. Determining the correct tim...Rule Low Severity -

SRG-APP-000125
Group -
The Central Log Server system backups must be retained for a minimum of 5 years for SAMI (Sources and Methods Information) and a minimum of 7 days for non-SAMI on media capable of guaranteeing file integrity for the minimum applicable information retention period.
If backups are not properly processed, protected, and stored on appropriate media, recovery from a system failure or implementation of a contingency plan would not include the data necessary to ful...Rule Low Severity -

The content of the drawer really is up to you. It could have form fields, definition lists, text lists, labels, charts, progress bars, etc. Spacing recommendation is 24px margins. You can put tabs in here, and can also make the drawer scrollable.
