Fix Recommendation

Create or edit the "/etc/logrotate.d/audit" file and add the daily entry, such as:

/var/log/audit/audit.log {
compress
dateext
rotate 15
daily
missingok
notifempty
create 600 root root
sharedscripts
postrotate
/sbin/service auditd restart 2> /dev/null > /dev/null || true
endscript
}

Check Contents

Check for a logrotate entry that rotates audit logs.

# ls -l /etc/logrotate.d/audit

If it exists, check for the presence of the daily rotate flag:

# egrep "daily" /etc/logrotate.d/audit

The command should produce a "daily" entry in the logrotate file for the audit daemon.

If the daily entry is missing, this is a finding.
