MSS: (WarningLevel) Percentage threshold for the security event log at which the system will generate a warning
Counter Measure:
Configure the MSS: (WarningLevel) Percentage threshold for the security event log at which the system will generate a warning entry to a value of 90.
The possible values for this registry entry are:
? 0 to 100. The default configuration is 0 (no warning event is generated).
In the SCE UI, the following options are available:
? 50%
? 60%
? 70%
? 80%
? 90%
? Not Defined
Potential Impact:
This setting will generate an audit event when the Security log reaches the 90 percent-full threshold unless the log is configured to overwrite events as needed.
Fix:
(1) GPO: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\MSS (Legacy)\MSS: (WarningLevel) Percentage threshold for the security event log at which the system will generate a warning
(2) REG: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Eventlog\Security!WarningLevel
