Configure the operating system to initiate an action to notify the system administrator (SA) and information system security officer (ISSO) (at a minimum) when allocated audit record storage volume reaches 75 percent of the repository maximum audit record storage.
Add the following Nix code to the NixOS Configuration, usually located in /etc/nixos/configuration.nix or /etc/nixos/flake.nix:
environment.etc."audit/auditd.conf".text = [
''
space_left = 25%
''
];
Rebuild and switch to the new NixOS configuration:
$ sudo nixos-rebuild switch
Verify NixOS takes action when allocated audit record storage volume reaches 75 percent of the repository maximum audit record storage capacity with the following commands:
$ sudo grep -w space_left /etc/audit/auditd.conf
space_left = 25%
If the value of the "space_left" keyword is not set to "25%" or if the line is commented out, this is a finding.
