Information

The Application event log size must be configured to 32768 KB or greater.

GROUP ID: V-224937
RULE ID: SV-224937r958752

Inadequate log size will cause the log to fill up quickly. This may prevent audit events from being recorded properly and require frequent attention by administrative personnel.

Solution

Configure the policy value for

Computer Configuration >> Administrative Templates >> Windows Components >> Event Log Service >> Application >> 'Specify the maximum log file size (KB)'

to 'Enabled' with a 'Maximum Log Size (KB)' of '32768' or greater.
