Enable log_config_module For HTTPD Logging
An XCCDF Rule
Description
The log_config_module should exist and be configured in
the /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf file by adding the following module to
configure logging:
log_config_module
Rationale
A major tool in exploring the web site use, attempted use, unusual conditions, and problems are reported in the access and error logs. In the event of a security incident, these logs can provide the SA and the web manager with valuable information. Without these log files, SAs and web managers are seriously hindered in their efforts to respond appropriately to suspicious or criminal actions targeted at the web site.
