Check Text (C-268104r1131010_chk)

Verify NixOS takes action when allocated audit record storage volume reaches 90 percent of the repository maximum audit record storage capacity with the following commands: $ sudo grep -w admin_space_left /etc/audit/auditd.conf admin_space_left = 10% If the value of the "admin_space_left" keyword is not set to "10%" or if the line is commented out, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-71931r1131009_fix)

Configure the operating system to initiate an action to notify the system administrator (SA) and information system security officer (ISSO) (at a minimum) when allocated audit record storage volume reaches 90 percent of the repository maximum audit record storage capacity. Add the following Nix code to the NixOS Configuration, usually located in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix or /etc/nixos/flake.nix: environment.etc."audit/auditd.conf".text = [ '' admin_space_left = 10% '' ]; Rebuild and switch to the new NixOS configuration: $ sudo nixos-rebuild switch
