Fix Recommendation

Edit the Kubernetes API Server manifest and set "--audit-policy-file" to the audit policy file.

Note: If the API server is running as a Pod, then the manifest will also need to be updated to mount the host system filesystem where the audit policy file resides.

Check Contents

Change to the /etc/kubernetes/manifests directory on the Kubernetes Master Node. Run the command:

grep -i audit-policy-file *

If the audit-policy-file is not set, this is a finding.
