ColdFusion log records must be off-loaded onto a different system or media from the system being logged.
Description
Discussion Text
Information system logging capability is critical for accurate forensic analysis. Off-loading is a common process in information systems with limited log storage capacity.
Centralized management of log records provides for efficiency in maintenance and management of records, as well as the backup and archiving of those records. Application servers and their related components are required to off-load log records on to a different system or media than the system being logged.
ColdFusion offers the capability to set the number of archived log files to keep before overwriting the file along with the maximum file size before generating an archive. This allows the administrator to set up a scheduled task or a centralized log management system to pull the log files.
