Fix Recommendation

Enable logging categories for Cisco ISE to send auditable events to the syslog target.

From the Web Admin portal:
1. Choose Administration >> System >> Logging >> Logging Categories.
2. Click the radio button next to the Administrative and Operational Audit logging category and then click "Edit".
3. Choose INFO from the Log Severity Level drop-down list.
4. In the Targets field, move the syslog target name that is being used to the Selected box.
5. Repeat the above steps to enable the AAA Audit logging category. However, this logging category has INFO as the default log severity level and cannot be changed.
5. Click "Save".

Check Contents

Verify logging categories have been configured to send auditable events to the syslog target.

From the Web Admin portal:
1. Choose Administration >> System >> Logging >> Logging Categories.
2. Verify the Administrative and Operational Audit is configured for the INFO log severity level.
3. Verify both the Administrative and Operational Audit and the AAA Audit logging categories have been set to the syslog target.

If the Administrative and Operational Audit (INFO severity) and the AAA Audit logging category is not configured to send to the central syslog server, this is a finding.
