The default action to take when the logs reach their maximum size
is to rotate the log files, discarding the oldest one. To configure the action taken
by auditd
, add or correct the line in /etc/audit/auditd.conf
:
max_log_file_action = ACTION
Possible values for ACTION are described in the auditd.conf
man
page. These include:
ignore
syslog
suspend
rotate
keep_logs
Set the ACTION
to rotate
to ensure log rotation
occurs. This is the default. The setting is case-insensitive.
