Settings for the Secure Operation 3
(Regular Review by Audit Log)
This section describes the importing method of the Audit Log feature using the System
Administrator client via CentreWare Internet Services.
The Audit Log is regularly reviewed by the Security Administrator, often with the aid of third
party analyzing tools. The audit log helps to assess attempted security breaches, identify
actual breaches, and prevent future breaches.
The important events of the machine such as device failure, configuration change, and user
operation are traced and recorded based on when and who operated what function.
Auditable events are stored with time stamps into NVRAM. When the number of stored events
reaches 50, the 50 logs on NVRAM are stored into one file ("audit log file") within the internal
HDD. Up to 15,000 events can be stored. When the number of recorded events exceeds 15,000,
the oldest audit log file is overwritten and a new audit event is stored.
There is no deletion function.
