Information

Without generating audit records that are specific to the security and mission needs of the organization, it would be difficult to establish, correlate, and investigate the events relating to an incident or identify those responsible for one.

Audit records can be generated from various components within the network device (e.g., module or policy filter).

Solution

Configure the network device to generate audit records for privileged activities or other system-level access.

set system syslog host <syslog address> any info
set system syslog host <syslog address> explicit-priority
set system syslog file <file name> any info
set system syslog time-format year
