Log User Activity in System History
Maintain System Security and Strict Accountability
Maintaining a history log of user activity is an essential best practice for network alarm monitoring. An advanced network monitoring system will track each user by a unique identification and automatically record user actions in the history log.
User logging gives system administrators a powerful tool for enforcing the accountability of system operators. Since users are clearly identified, they can be held responsible for everything that happens on their watch and every alarm they acknowledge. You can set a firm policy that the system operator who acknowledges an alarm has the responsibility for ensuring that the problem is fixed.
This industry best practice will ensure that problems are taken care of and increase the reliability of your network.
