The Photon operating system must allocate audit record storage capacity to store audit records when audit records are not immediately sent to a central audit record storage facility.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Audit logs are most useful when accessible by date, rather than size. This can be accomplished through a combination of an audit log rotation and setting a reasonable number of logs to keep. This ensures that audit logs are accessible to the ISSO in the event of a central log processing failure.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
