Discussion

If time stamps are not consistently applied and there is no common time reference, it is difficult to perform forensic analysis across multiple devices and log records. Time stamps generated by the web server include date and time. Time is commonly expressed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), a modern continuation of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), or local time with an offset from UTC.

Check Content

At the command prompt, execute the following command:

grep -E  'option\s+httplog' /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg

If the command does not return a line, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Navigate to and open /etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg

Navigate to the defaults section.

Add "option httplog" to the "defaults" section.
