An XCCDF Rule
Description
<VulnDiscussion>Making sure that information is given to the system administrator in a timely fashion is important. This information can be system status, warnings that may need attention before system failure or actual failure notification. Having this information sent to the system administrator when the issue arises allows for the system administrator to quickly take action and avoid potential DoS for customers.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
