Discussion

In order to make certain that the logging mechanism used by the web server has sufficient storage capacity in which to write the logs, the logging mechanism needs to be able to allocate log record storage capacity. The task of allocating log record storage capacity is usually performed during initial installation of the logging mechanism. The system administrator will usually coordinate the allocation of physical drive space with the web server administrator along with the physical location of the partition and disk. Refer to NIST SP 800-92 for specific requirements on log rotation and storage dependent on the impact of the web server.

Interview the ISSO.

Determine if tc Server ALL is using a logging mechanism that is configured to have a capacity large enough to accommodate logging requirements.

If the logging mechanism does not have sufficient capacity, this is a finding.
