The HPE 3PAR OS must provide an immediate real-time alert to the System Administrator (SA) and Information System Security Officer (ISSO), at a minimum, of all audit failure events requiring real-time alerts.

Description

<VulnDiscussion>It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Without a real-time alert, security personnel may be unaware of an impending failure of the audit capability and system operation may be adversely affected. Alerts provide organizations with urgent messages. Real-time alerts provide these messages immediately (i.e., the time from event detection to alert occurs in seconds or less). In HPE 3PAR OS all event logging responsibility is shared among the clustered nodes. If one node should panic, a surviving node will issue an SNMP trap, and take over event log management, recording the failure messages from the panic'ing node. If the panic'ing node was also the network owner (responsible for communications with outside entities such as the SIEM system), another node will take over the network ownership. Any messages not yet sent will be sent to the SIEM system at this time. When the panic'd node reboots, it will simply rejoin the cluster as a participant.</VulnDiscussion><FalsePositives></FalsePositives><FalseNegatives></FalseNegatives><Documentable>false</Documentable><Mitigations></Mitigations><SeverityOverrideGuidance></SeverityOverrideGuidance><PotentialImpacts></PotentialImpacts><ThirdPartyTools></ThirdPartyTools><MitigationControl></MitigationControl><Responsibility></Responsibility><IAControls></IAControls>
