The Cisco ASA must be configured to generate an immediate real-time alert of all audit failure events requiring real-time alerts.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without a real-time alert, security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability and system operation may be adversely affected. Alerts provide organizations with urgent messages. Real-time alerts provide these messages immediately (i.e., the time from event detection to alert occurs in seconds or less).

A Manual Procedure

Configure the Cisco ASA to send critical to emergency log messages to the syslog server as shown in the example below.

ASA(config)# logging host NDM_INTERFACE 10.1.48.10
ASA(config)# logging trap critical
ASA(config)# end

Note: The parameter critical can replaced with a lesser severity (i.e., error, warning, notice, informational).
