Check the system configuration to determine the partition to which the audit records are written: 

# grep -iw log_file /etc/audit/auditd.conf

Determine the size of the partition to which audit records are written (e.g., "/var/log/audit/"):
# df -h /var/log/audit/

Set the value of the "space_left" keyword in "/etc/audit/auditd.conf" to 25 percent of the partition size.

The SUSE operating system auditd service must notify the System Administrator (SA) and Information System Security Officer (ISSO) immediately when audit storage capacity is 75 percent full.
