    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The application server must shut down by default upon log failure (unless availability is an overriding concern).

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;It is critical that, when a system is at risk of failing to process logs, it detects and takes action to mitigate the failure...

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The application server must be configured to fail over to another system in the event of log subsystem failure.

    &lt;VulnDiscussion&gt;This requirement is dependent upon system MAC and availability. If the system MAC and availability do not specify redundancy...

  • SRG-APP-000116

    <GroupDescription></GroupDescription>
    Group
  • The application server must use internal system clocks to generate time stamps for log records.
