Discussion

If security personnel are not notified immediately when storage volume reaches 75 percent, they are unable to plan for audit record storage capacity expansion.

Check

1. Access the TanOS interactively.

2. Press "A" for "Appliance Configuration Menu," and then press "Enter".

3. Press "5" for "SNMP Configuration," and then press "Enter".

If the State is "Disabled" this is a finding.

If the state is "Enabled", work with the SNMP monitoring system administrator to ensure warnings are sent when TanOS storage reaches 75 percent of capacity. If they are not being sent, and this is a finding.
