Configure the maximum size of the audit log file. Once the log reaches the maximum size, it will be rotated and a new log file will be started.
Rationale:
It is important that an appropriate size is determined for log files so that they do not impact the system and audit data is not lost.
Fix:
Set the max_log_file parameter in /etc/audit/auditd.conf max_log_file = <MB>
Note: MB is the number of MegaBytes the file can be.
Parameter:
[max file size in MB]
Technical Mechanism:
Set the max_log_file parameter in /etc/audit/auditd.conf max_log_file = MB
Note: MB is the number of MegaBytes the file can be.
