Fix Recommendation

Configure TOSS 5 to initiate an action to notify the SA and ISSO (at a minimum) when allocated audit record storage volume reaches 75 percent of the repository maximum audit record storage capacity by adding/modifying the following line in the /etc/audit/auditd.conf file.

space_left = 25%

Check Contents

Verify TOSS 5 takes action when allocated audit record storage volume reaches 75 percent of the repository maximum audit record storage capacity using the following command:

$ 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 percent of the storage volume allocated to audit logs, or if the line is commented out, ask the system administrator (SA) to indicate how the system is providing real-time alerts to the SA and information system security officer (ISSO). If the "space_left" value is not configured to the correct value, this is a finding.
