Questions about Logging

What is Logged?
- For Windows: The Windows events logs: Application, System, Security, ForwardedEvents, Microsoft-Windows-Powershell, and WindowsPowerShell
- For Mac: Mac ASL logs (excluding debug and traces).
Where is it Logged?
- The logs are sent to the central logging server managed by the university. Where they are imported into Splunk and are only viewable to the people with access to the cs logging domain.
Why is it Logged?
- This is to cover a Security Policy issued for High and Moderate risk machines (and may eventually be required for Low risk machines). The Virginia Tech policy for this can be viewed here.

The central logging service requires version 8 or higher of each of these programs
