Check: SRG-OS-000358-VMM-001350

Virtual Machine Manager SRG: SRG-OS-000358-VMM-001350 (in versions v2 r2 through v1 r3)

Title

The VMM must record time stamps for audit records that meet a granularity of one second for a minimum degree of precision. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Without sufficient granularity of time stamps, it is not possible to adequately determine the chronological order of records. Time stamps generated by the VMM include date and time. Granularity of time measurements refers to the degree of synchronization between VMM clocks and reference clocks.

Check Content

Verify the VMM records time stamps for audit records that meet a granularity of one second for a minimum degree of precision. If it does not, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the VMM to record time stamps for audit records that meet a granularity of one second for a minimum degree of precision.
