Check Text (C-281108r1166276_chk)

Verify RHEL 10 is configured to take action if allocated audit record storage volume reaches 95 percent of the repository maximum audit record storage capacity with the following command: $ sudo grep admin_space_left_action /etc/audit/auditd.conf admin_space_left_action = single If the value of the "admin_space_left_action" is not set to "single", or if the line is commented out, ask the system administrator (SA) to indicate how the system is providing real-time alerts to the SA and information system security officer (ISSO). If there is no evidence that real-time alerts are configured on the system, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-85574r1166275_fix)

Configure RHEL 10 auditd service to take action if allocated audit record storage volume reaching 95 percent of the repository maximum audit record storage capacity. Edit the following line in "/etc/audit/auditd.conf" to ensure the system is forced into single user mode if the audit record storage volume is about to reach maximum capacity: admin_space_left_action = single Restart the audit daemon with the following command for the changes to take effect: $ sudo service auditd restart
