At a minimum, the following are monitored and logged by the OS:
• User authentication attempts
• Unauthorized attempts to access resources (files or programs on the
server, for example)
• User login attempts (both successes and failures)
• Changes made to a user security profile or to user attributes
• Disabling and enabling of a user profile
• Changes made to security profile or attributes associated with a channel
or port
• Changes made to access rights associated with resources
• Changes made in the security configuration
MAS Console security logs
The MAS Console generates security logs for the following operations:
• Software stops, starts, and restarts
• Operational state changes (lock, pending-lock, or lock) for platform or
applications
• Changes made to configuration data
• Backups and Restores (system or service data)
• Active sessions control (mute, un-mute, and delete)
• Generate Report (control panel)
A critical event viewer application log is generated if the console is unable to
write to a security log. The contents of the log are as follows:
• Description
• Date and Time
• User ID
• Type of Operation (for example, stops, starts, or configuration data
changes)
• Source (client) IP address
• Success and Failure of operations
Alarms
When a serious error is detected and corrective action is required, the MAS
platform generates an alarm. Alarms generate an event log each time an
alarm is raised or cleared and this provides a clear record of all state changes
on the platform.
