Information

Amazon Linux 2023 must allocate audit record storage capacity to store at least one week's worth of audit records, when audit records are not immediately sent to a central audit record storage facility.

GROUP ID: V-274067RULE ID: SV-274067r1120653

To ensure operating systems have a sufficient storage capacity in which to write the audit logs, operating systems must be able to allocate audit record storage capacity.

NOTE: Nessus has provided the target output to assist in reviewing the benchmark to ensure target compliance.

Solution

Configure Amazon Linux 2023 to provide adequate storage for at least one-week of audit logs when audit records are not immediately sent to a central audit record storage facility.

If the storage partition is not large enough for at least one week of audit logs, then either:

- Resize the partition to ensure there is enough storage capacity.
- Create a new partition for the audit logs.
