Assessment Title
Rule Text
MarkLogic Server must allow only the ISSM (or individuals or roles appointed by the ISSM) to select which auditable events are to be audited.
Description
Discussion Text
Without the capability to restrict which roles and individuals can select which events are audited, unauthorized personnel may be able to prevent or interfere with the auditing of critical events.
Suppression of auditing could permit an adversary to evade detection.
Misconfigured audits can degrade the system's performance by overwhelming the audit log, and can make it more difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one.
MarkLogic Server includes an auditing capability. Auditing can be enabled to capture security-relevant events to monitor suspicious database activity or to satisfy applicable auditing requirements. The generation of audit events can be configured by including or excluding MarkLogic Server roles, users, or documents based on URI. Some actions that can be audited are the following:
- Startup and shutdown of MarkLogic Server
- Adding or removing roles from a user
- Usage of amps
- Starting and stopping the auditing system
For the complete list of auditable events and their descriptions, see Auditing Events in the Administrator's Guide:
