Check Text (C-217201r959008_chk)
Verify the audit system off-loads audit records if the SUSE operating system storage volume becomes full.
Check that the records are properly off-loaded to a remote server with the following command:
# sudo grep -i "disk_full_action" /etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf
disk_full_action = syslog
If "disk_full_action" is not set to "syslog", "single", or "halt" or the line is commented out, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-18427r369760_fix)
Configure the SUSE operating system to take the appropriate action if the audit storage is full.
Add, edit, or uncomment the "disk_full_action" option in "/etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf". Set it to "syslog", "single" or "halt" as in the example below:
disk_full_action = syslog
