GEN002860 - Audit logs must be rotated daily.

Information

Rotate audit logs daily to preserve audit file system space and to conform to the DoD/DISA requirement. If it is not rotated daily and moved to another location, then there is more of a chance for the compromise of audit data by malicious users.

Solution

Configure a cron job or other automated process to rotate the audit logs on a daily basis.
