Assessment Title
Rule Text
The ESXi host must forward audit records containing information to establish what type of events occurred.
Description
Discussion Text
Without establishing what types of events occurred, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events leading up to an outage or attack.
Audit record content that may be necessary to satisfy this requirement includes, for example, time stamps, source and destination addresses, user/process/VM identifiers, event descriptions, success/fail indications, filenames involved, and access control or flow control rules invoked.
Associating event types with detected events in the ESXi audit logs provides a means of investigating an attack; recognizing resource utilization or capacity thresholds; or identifying an improperly configured host.
