Medium Severity
<VulnDiscussion>JBoss logs by default are written to the local file system. A centralized logging solution like syslog should be used whenever possible; however, any log data stored to the file system needs to be off-loaded. JBoss EAP does not provide an automated backup capability. Instead, reliance is placed on OS or third-party tools to back up or off-load the log files. Protection of log data includes assuring log data is not accidentally lost or deleted. Off-loading log records to a different system or onto separate media from the system the application server is actually running on helps to assure that, in the event of a catastrophic system failure, the log records will be retained.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
