Performance Charts must fail to a known safe state if system initialization fails, shutdown fails, or aborts fail.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Determining a safe state for failure and weighing that against a potential denial of service for users depends on what type of application the web server is hosting. For Performance Charts, it is preferable that the service abort startup on any initialization failure rather than continuing in a degraded, and potentially insecure, state.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
