Information

AlmaLinux OS 9 must take appropriate action when the internal event queue is full.

GROUP ID: V-269511
RULE ID: SV-269511r1050394

The audit system should have an action setup in the event the internal event queue becomes full so that no data is lost.

Solution

Edit the /etc/audit/auditd.conf file and add or update the "overflow_action" option:

overflow_action = SYSLOG

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