Check Text (C-234969r971542_chk)
Determine if the SUSE operating system auditd is configured to notify the SA and ISSO when the audit record storage volume reaches 75 percent of the storage capacity.
Check the system configuration to determine the partition to which audit records are written using the following command:
> sudo grep -iw log_file /etc/audit/auditd.conf
log_file = /var/log/audit/audit.log
Check the size of the partition to which audit records are written (e.g., "/var/log/audit/"):
> df -h /var/log/audit/
/dev/sda2 24G 10.4G 13.6G 43% /var
If the audit records are not being written to a partition specifically created for audit records (in this example "/var/log/audit" is a separate partition), use the following command to determine the amount of space other files in the partition currently occupy:
> sudo du -sh <partition>
1.8G /var/log/audit
Determine the threshold for the system to take action when 75 percent of the repository maximum audit record storage capacity is reached:
> sudo grep -iw space_left /etc/audit/auditd.conf
space_left = 225
If the value of the "space_left" keyword is not set to 25 percent of the total partition size, this is a finding.
Fix Text (F-38120r619177_fix)
Check the system configuration to determine the partition to which the audit records are written:
> sudo grep -iw log_file /etc/audit/auditd.conf
Determine the size of the partition to which audit records are written (e.g., "/var/log/audit/"):
> df -h /var/log/audit/
Set the value of the "space_left" keyword in "/etc/audit/auditd.conf" to 25 percent of the partition size.
