Severity

CAT II

CCI(s)

• CCI-001849 - Allocate audit log storage capacity to accommodate organization-defined audit record retention requirements.

Weight

10

Fix Recommendation

Configure the network device to allocate audit record storage capacity in accordance with organization-defined audit record storage requirements.

Configure external syslog server(s):
set system syslog host <address 1> any info
set system syslog host <address 2> any info

Check Contents

Determine if the network device allocates audit record storage capacity in accordance with organization-defined audit record storage requirements.

This requirement may be verified by configuration review or vendor-provided information. This requirement may be met through use of a properly configured syslog server if the device is configured to use the syslog server.

Junos does not permit configuring audit logging storage space. However, the majority of disk space is reserved for local audit log storage and file are rotated using a first-in-first-out (FIFO) function.
Verify external syslog servers are configured.
[edit system syslog]
host <address 1> {
any info;
}
host <address 2> {
any info;
}

If audit record store capacity is not allocated in accordance with organization-defined audit record storage requirements, or the device is not configured to use external syslog server(s), this is a finding.
