The DataPower Gateway must allocate audit record storage capacity in accordance with organization-defined audit record storage requirements.
An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>In order to ensure network devices have a sufficient storage capacity in which to write the audit logs, they need to be able to allocate audit record storage capacity. The task of allocating audit record storage capacity is usually performed during initial device setup if it is modifiable. The value for the organization-defined audit record storage requirement will depend on the amount of storage available on the network device, the anticipated volume of logs, the frequency of transfer from the network device to centralized log servers, and other factors.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>

Development configuration (on-box logging):
Using the DataPower WebGUI, navigate to Objects >> Logging Configuration >> Audit Log Settings. Specify the desired Log Size, Number of Rotations, and audit level. Press Apply then Save Configuration. (Maximum available log space is approximately 50GB - less space consumed by other data on the device.)
Production configuration (off-box logging):
Using the DataPower WebGUI, navigate to Objects >> Logging Configuration >> Log Target. On the main tab, choose a Target Type, e.g., syslog-tcp, and a Log Format. Specify the remote host and port of the logging server. Enter other parameters according to your requirements, e.g., SSL security.
