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. An XCCDF Rule
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.
Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>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 requirement for a centralized enclave log server.
To comply with this requirement, create a central log server that aggregates multiple log servers or use another method to ensure log analysis and management is centrally managed and available to enterprise forensics and analysis tools. This server is often called a log aggregator, SIEM, or events server.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
