MediumLevel 2Manual reviewopenshift

Description

Ensure that the audit policy created for the cluster covers key security concerns. The benchmark marks this recommendation Manual.

How it is checked

Audit method: Manual review

This recommendation cannot be checked automatically. A scan lists it with these instructions when you pass --include-manual.

Review the audit policy provided for the cluster and ensure that it covers the following areas: • The use of sensitive resources like Secrets, ConfigMaps, and TokenReviews are logged at the Metadata level • Modifications to pods and deployments are logged at the Request level • The use of pods/exec, pods/portforward, pods/proxy, and services/proxy are at least logged at the Metadata level For most requests, minimally logging at the Metadata level is recommended (the most basic level of logging).

How it is fixed

Fix method: Guidance or infrastructure patch

Update the audit log policy profile to use WriteRequestBodies.
