PHTN-67-000060 - The Photon operating system must configure auditd to log space limit problems to syslog.

Information

If security personnel are not notified immediately when storage volume reaches 75% utilization, they are unable to plan for audit record storage capacity expansion.

Solution

Open /etc/audit/auditd.conf with a text editor.

Ensure that the 'space_left' line is uncommented and set to the following:

space_left = 75

At the command line, execute the following command:

# service auditd reload
