Check Text (C-230483r971542_chk)

Verify RHEL 8 takes action when allocated audit record storage volume reaches 75 percent of the repository maximum audit record storage capacity with the following commands: $ sudo grep -w space_left /etc/audit/auditd.conf space_left = 25% If the value of the "space_left" keyword is not set to "25%" or if the line is commented out, ask the System Administrator to indicate how the system is providing real-time alerts to the SA and ISSO. If there is no evidence that real-time alerts are configured on the system, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-33127r744013_fix)

Configure the operating system to initiate an action to notify the SA and ISSO (at a minimum) when allocated audit record storage volume reaches 75 percent of the repository maximum audit record storage capacity by adding/modifying the following line in the /etc/audit/auditd.conf file. space_left = 25% Note: Option names and values in the auditd.conf file are case insensitive.
