AlmaLinux OS 9 audit system must make full use of the audit storage space.

An XCCDF Rule

Description

max_log_file (size in megabytes) multiplied by num_logs must make full use of the auditd storage volume (separate to the root partition). If max_log_file_action is set to ROTATE or KEEP_LOGS then max_log_file must be set to a value that makes the most use of the storage available.

Configure AlmaLinux OS 9 to make full use of the auditd storage volume with rotation enabled.

max_log_file = 100
