The Central Log Server must be configured to generate reports that support on-demand reporting requirements.

The report generation capability must support on-demand reporting to facilitate the organization's ability to generate incident reports as needed to better handle larger-scale or more complex security incidents

The report generation capability provided by the application must be capable of generating on-demand (i.e., customizable, ad hoc, and as-needed) reports. On-demand reporting allows personnel to report issues more rapidly to more effectively meet reporting requirements. Collecting log data and aggregating it to present the data in a single, consolidated report achieves this objective.

This requirement is specific to applications with report generation capabilities; however, applications need to support on-demand reporting requirements.

Examine the configuration.

Verify the Central Log Server generates reports that support on-demand reporting requirements.

If the Central Log Server is not configured to generate reports that support on-demand reporting requirements, this is a finding.

Configure the Central Log Server to generate reports that support on-demand reporting requirements.
