Information

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

GROUP ID: V-271582
RULE ID: SV-271582r1092574

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 OL 9 to flush audit to disk by adding or updating the following configuration in "/etc/audit/auditd.conf":

freq = 100

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

Restart auditd:

$ sudo service auditd restart
