Description
Information stored in one location is vulnerable to accidental or incidental deletion or alteration.
Offloading is a common process in information systems with limited audit storage capacity.
ℹ️ Check
Verify the audit system offloads audit records if SLEM 5 storage volume becomes full.
Check that the records are properly offloaded to a remote server with the following command:
> sudo grep -i "disk_full_action" /etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf
disk_full_action = syslog
If "disk_full_action" is not set to "syslog", "single", or "halt" or the line is commented out, this is a finding.
✔️ Fix
Configure SLEM 5 to take the appropriate action if the audit storage is full.
Add or modify the following line in the "/etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf" file:
disk_full_action = syslog
