Action for auditd to take when log files reach their maximum size
The setting for max_log_file_action in /etc/audit/auditd.conf. The following options are available:
ignore - audit daemon does nothing.
syslog - audit daemon will issue a warning to syslog.
suspend - audit daemon will stop writing records to the disk.
rotate - audit daemon will rotate logs in the same convention used by logrotate.
keep_logs - similar to rotate but prevents audit logs to be overwritten. May trigger space_left_action if volume is full.
