The F5 BIG-IP appliance must generate audit records and send records to redundant central syslog servers that are separate from the appliance.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration. Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one. MCP audit records are generated from various components within the network device. For example, it logs the creation of DNS objects and DNSSEC configuration, including key creations.
