Discussion

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.

Check Content

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.
