Security Logs
Security logs provide Security Administrators and Auditors the ability to track critical operations of the system and to analyze historical data should a security breach occur. Security logs are viewed using the Event Viewer Administrative tool.
Security logs are archived using the Save Log File As... popup menu option in the Event Viewer. It is the responsibility of onsite personnel to transfer these files off of the system if a backup of the security logs is required.
Access to security logs is restricted to either SSA or SA users.
The following parameters are set during installation:
•MaximumLogSize = 81920 KB
•AuditLogRetentionPeriod = 2
Windows OS Security Logs
All system events such as logins, file access, file handling, and network access are all tracked using various Windows operating system services. The rules that govern these logs are factory configured and installed on the server during installation.
