The HP FlexFabric Switch must record time stamps for audit records that meet a granularity of one second for a minimum degree of precision.

Description
Without sufficient granularity of time stamps, it is not possible to adequately determine the chronological order of records. Time stamps generated by the application include date and time. Granularity of time measurements refers to the degree of synchronization between information system clocks and reference clocks.
ℹ️ Check
Check if info-center is configured to provide timestamp: [HP] display info-center Information Center: Enabled Console: Enabled Monitor: Enabled Log host: Enabled 192.100.50.27, port number: 514, host facility: local7 Log buffer: Enabled Max buffer size 1024, current buffer size 512 Current messages 66, dropped messages 0, overwritten messages 0 Log file: Enabled Security log file: Enabled Information timestamp format: Log host: Date Other output destination: Date Check logfile content to determine if the time stamp is present: <HP> cd logfile/ <HP> more logfile.log %@9377%Jan 20 23:31:03:567 2011 HP5930_SUT SHELL/6/SHELL_CMD: -Line=vty0-IPAddr=16.123.122.155-User=admin; Command is dis info-center %@9378%Jan 20 23:31:09:342 2011 HP5930_SUT SHELL/6/SHELL_CMD: -Line=vty0-IPAddr=16.123.122.155-User=admin; Command is qui If the HP FlexFabric Switch is not configured to enable timestamp, this is a finding.
✔️ Fix
Configure timestamp on the logs on the HP FlexFabric Switch: [HP] info-center timestamp date By default, the device uses internal system clocks to generate time stamps for audit records in the date format - MMM DD hh:mm:ss:xxx YYYY which provides required granularity.
