Information

Amazon Linux 2023 must take action when allocated audit record storage volume reaches 95 percent of the repository maximum audit record storage capacity.

GROUP ID: V-274074RULE ID: SV-274074r1120210

If action is not taken when storage volume reaches 95 percent utilization, the auditing system may fail when the storage volume reaches capacity.

Solution

Configure Amazon Linux 2023 so that the auditd service takes action in the event of allocated audit record storage volume reaching 95 percent of the repository maximum audit record storage capacity.

Edit the following line in "/etc/audit/auditd.conf" to ensure that the system is forced into single user mode in the event the audit record storage volume is about to reach maximum capacity:

admin_space_left_action = single

The audit daemon must be restarted for changes to take effect.
