PPS9-00-007800 - The EDB Postgres Advanced Server must provide centralized configuration of the content to be captured in audit records generated by all components of the EDB Postgres Advanced Server.

Information

If the configuration of the DBMS's auditing is spread across multiple locations in the database management software, or across multiple commands, only loosely related, it is harder to use and takes longer to reconfigure in response to events.

The DBMS must provide a unified tool for audit configuration.

NOTE: Nessus has not performed this check. Please review the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Install a centralized log collecting tool and configure it as instructed in its documentation.

If using PEM, find the instructions at
