The HP FlexFabric Switch must record time stamps for audit records that meet a granularity of one second for a minimum degree of precision.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Without sufficient granularity of time stamps, it is not possible to adequately determine the chronological order of records. Time stamps generated by the application include date and time. Granularity of time measurements refers to the degree of synchronization between information system clocks and reference clocks.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

Configure timestamp on the logs on the HP FlexFabric Switch:
[HP] info-center timestamp date
By default, the device uses internal system clocks to generate time stamps for audit records in the date format - MMM DD hh:mm:ss:xxx YYYY which provides required granularity.
