Redis Enterprise DBMS must provide an immediate real-time alert to appropriate support staff of all audit log failures.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>Redis Enterprise does not send immediate real-time alerts to support staff in the event of audit log failures; however, the host RHEL server can be configured to send such alerts using scripts or other third-party tools. 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. The appropriate support staff include, at a minimum, the ISSO and the DBA/SA. A failure of database auditing will result in either the database continuing to function without auditing or in a complete halt to database operations. When audit processing fails, appropriate personnel must be alerted immediately to avoid further downtime or unaudited transactions. 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).</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

Remediation - Manual Procedure

Configure the system to provide an immediate real-time alert to appropriate support staff when an audit log failure occurs.

It is possible to create scripts or implement third-party tools to enable real-time alerting for audit log failures, depending on the underlying OS.

Additionally, it is recommended to enable the following alerts from within the Redis Enterprise AdminUI Console:
