Settings for the Secure Operation 3 (Regular Review by Audit Log)

This section describes the Audit Log feature and the settings available via Dell Printer
Configuration Web Tool.
The Audit Log is regularly reviewed by the Security Administrator, often with the aid
of third party analyzing tools. The audit log helps to assess attempted security
breaches, identify actual breaches, and prevent future breaches.
The important events of the machine such as device failure, configuration change,
and user operation are traced and recorded based on when and who operated what
function.
Auditable events are stored with time stamps into NVRAM. When the number of stored
events reaches 50, the 50 entries on NVRAM are stored into one file ("audit log file") on
the internal HDD. Up to 15,000 events can be stored. When the number of recorded
events exceeds 15,000, the oldest audit log file is overwritten and a new audit event is
stored.
There is no delete function.
