Audting

Server Manager includes both compliance auditing and self-auditing features.

  • Compliance auditing is the process of reviewing centralized Security Audit Log Reports, flagging issues, re-assigning, rejecting, accepting and completing the report.
  • Self-auditing is the process of reviewing audit controls for timing and accuracy. Audit controls include, for example, Event Log and RedHat Audit Log Backup Templates. Accuracy is referred to as the process of executing the audit contols, for example, the frequency and timing log backups occur.

Server Manager enables Information Systems Security Managers (ISSM) to complete end-to-end auditing directly within the Management Console using a combination of Audit Work Items and Self-Auditing Reports.

All write operations, and, optionally, executed Reports and Templates are written to the CBSAudit Event Log. Server Manager automtically parses and consolidates the log entries into the centralized log database.
