Discussion

If security personnel are not notified immediately when storage volume reaches 75 percent usage, they are unable to plan for audit record storage capacity expansion.

Check Content

1. Verify Nutanix OS is configured to act when allocated audit record storage volume reaches 75 percent utilization 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%", or is commented out, this is a finding.

2. Run the following command. 

$ sudo grep -w space_left_action /etc/audit/auditd.conf
space_left_action = SYSLOG

If the value of the "space_left_action" is not set to "SYSLOG" or is commented out, this is a finding.
