Host integrated hardware management controller must enable remote logging of events
Descrição
The host's integrated hardware management controller provides critical out-of-band server oversight. For enhanced security, it is essential to configure this controller to log events remotely. This practice ensures that hardware-related logs are sent to an off-site location, protecting them from potential tampering and offering a centralized record of server health and ... Manual review: the check needs vCenter/PowerCLI, firmware or guest access, or an organization-specific value.
Como é verificado
Método de auditoria: Revisão manual
