Use of log management system
Summary
The log management must be made by the operating system or by an external system separated from the application.
Description
Log management brings several benefits to an organization. The records of events or transactions can be valuable for troubleshooting, monitoring and security analysis.
The requirement emphasizes the separation of log management from the application. This separation helps to ensure that log data is not compromised, tampered, or affected by issues within the application itself.
