Information

AlmaLinux OS 9 must periodically flush audit records to disk to prevent the loss of audit records.

GROUP ID: V-269531
RULE ID: SV-269531r1050414

If option "freq" is not set to a value that requires audit records being written to disk after a threshold number is reached, then audit records may be lost.

Solution

Configure AlmaLinux OS 9 to flush audit to disk by adding or updating the following rule in "/etc/audit/auditd.conf":

freq = 100

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