Information

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 RHEL 9 to flush audit to disk by adding or updating the following rule in '/etc/audit/rules.d/audit.rules':

freq = 100

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