Title
Error logging must be enabled. (Cat II impact)
Discussion
The server error logs are invaluable because they can also be used to identify potential problems and enable proactive remediation. . Log data can reveal anomalous behavior such as “not found” or “unauthorized” errors that may be an evidence of attack attempts. Failure to enable error logging can significantly reduce the ability of Web Administrators to detect or remediate problems.
