Fix Recommendation

To specify auditLog, or a centralized system log (which is recommended), configure these in the mongod.conf configuration file:

auditLog:
destination: syslog

Allocate sufficient space to the storage volume hosting the file identified in the MongoDB configuration "auditLog.path" to support audit file peak demand.

Check Contents

Investigate whether there have been any incidents where the MongoDB server ran out of audit log space since the last time the space was allocated or other corrective measures were taken.
