Check Text (C-258845r971542_chk)

At the command line, run the following command to verify auditd is alerting when low disk space is detected: # grep '^space_left' /etc/audit/auditd.conf Expected result: space_left = 25% space_left_action = SYSLOG If the output does not match the expected result, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-62494r933595_fix)

Navigate to and open: /etc/audit/auditd.conf Ensure the "space_left" and "space_left_action" lines are uncommented and set to the following: space_left = 25% space_left_action = SYSLOG At the command line, run the following command: # pkill -SIGHUP auditd
