The Tanium application must allocate audit record storage capacity in accordance with organization-defined audit record storage requirements.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

<VulnDiscussion>To ensure applications have a sufficient storage capacity in which to write the audit logs, applications must be able to allocate audit record storage capacity. The task of allocating audit record storage capacity is usually performed during initial installation of the application and is closely associated with the database administrator and system administrator roles. The database administrator or system administrator will usually coordinate the allocation of physical drive space with the application owner/installer, and the application will prompt the installer to provide the capacity information, the physical location of the disk, or both.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
