SV-89665r1_ruleThe MQ Appliance network device must notify the administrator, upon successful logon (access), of the location of last logon (terminal or IP address) in addition to the result, date and time of the last logon (access).
SV-89667r1_ruleThe MQ Appliance network device must generate an immediate alert when allocated audit record storage volume reaches 75 percent of repository maximum audit record storage capacity.
