Analytics
AIX7-00-002001 - AIX must produce audit records containing information to establish what the date, time, and type of events that occurred.
Information
Without establishing what type 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 identifiers, event descriptions, success/fail indications, filenames involved, and access control or flow control rules invoked.
Associating event types with detected events in AIX audit logs provides a means of investigating an attack; recognizing resource utilization or capacity thresholds; or identifying an improperly configured operating system.
Satisfies: SRG-OS-000037-GPOS-00015, SRG-OS-000038-GPOS-00016
Solution
Reset the audit system with the following command:# /usr/sbin/audit shutdown
Start the audit system with the following command:
# /usr/sbin/audit start
