SRG-OS-000204 CCI-001311 The operating system must identify potentially security-relevant error conditions. The structure and content of error messages need to be carefully considered by the organization. The extent to which the operating system is able to identify and handle error conditions is guided by organizational policy and operational requirements.



met_inherently via syslog message levels?

*DEBUG:*
Info useful to developers for debugging the application, not useful during operations

*INFORMATIONAL:*
Normal operational messages - may be harvested for reporting, measuring throughput, etc - no action required

*NOTICE:*
Events that are unusual but not error conditions - might be summarized in an email to developers or admins to spot potential problems - no immediate action required

*WARNING:*
Warning messages - not an error, but indication that an error will occur if action is not taken, e.g. file system 85% full - each item must be resolved within a given time

*ERROR:*
Non-urgent failures - these should be relayed to developers or admins; each item must be resolved within a given time

*ALERT:*
Should be corrected immediately - notify staff who can fix the problem - example is loss of backup ISP connection

*CRITICAL:*
Should be corrected immediately, but indicates failure in a primary system - fix CRITICAL problems before ALERT - example is loss of primary ISP connection

*EMERGENCY:*
A "panic" condition - notify all tech staff on call? (earthquake? tornado?) - affects multiple apps/servers/sites...
