The mobile operating system must provide a warning to the mobile device management server when allocated audit record storage volume reaches an organization defined percentage of maximum audit record storage capacity.

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. If audit log capacity were to be exceeded then events that subsequently occur will not be recorded. By warning the mobile device management server that storage space for audit records has reached or exceeded the organizationally defined percentage, appropriate personnel and processes can take corrective action. The mobile operating system should also notify the user in the event intermittent network connectivity is causing the queued audit records to exceed local storage space.

Verify the auditing system can provide a warning to the mobile device management server when the audit log size reaches an organization defined percentage of maximum audit record storage capacity. If the auditing system cannot provide a warning to the mobile device management server when the audit log size reaches an organization defined percentage of maximum audit record storage capacity or is not configured to do so, this is a finding.
