The HPE 3PAR OS must be configured to send SNMP alerts to alert in the event of an audit processing failure.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>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 this notification, the security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability, and system operation may be adversely affected. The HPE 3PAR OS will send an SNMP trap event on any failure of audit components (failure to write a record, failure to send to remote syslog server, etc.). All of these conditions are automatically recovered Q20 in the short term. Configuration of the SNMP consumer is required to facilitate collection of these events.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
