Description
It is critical for the appropriate personnel to be aware if a system is at risk of failing to process audit logs as required. Audit processing failures include software/hardware errors, failures in the audit capturing mechanisms, and audit storage capacity being reached or exceeded. Notification of the storage condition will allow administrators to take actions so that logs are not lost. This requirement can be met by configuring the AS to utilize a dedicated audit tool that meets this requirement.

Review the configuration settings to determine if the AS audit system provides a warning when allocated audit record storage volume reaches an organization-defined percentage of maximum audit record storage capacity. If designated alerts are not sent, or the AS is not configured to use a dedicated audit tool that meets this requirement, this is a finding.
