Description
In order to ensure network devices have a sufficient storage capacity in which to write the audit logs, they need to be able to allocate audit record storage capacity. The task of allocating audit record storage capacity is usually performed during initial device setup if it is modifiable. The value for the organization-defined audit record storage requirement will depend on the amount of storage available on the network device, the anticipated volume of logs, the frequency of transfer from the network device to centralized log servers, and other factors.

Check Text ( C-50365r769129_chk )
To ensure audit record storage capacity is sufficient, use remote syslogging. Use "cluster log-forwarding show" to see the that a remote syslog server is configured for ONTAP. If ONTAP cannot allocate audit record storage capacity in accordance with organization-defined audit record storage requirements, this is a finding.

Fix Text (F-50319r769130_fix)
Configure a remote syslog server for ONTAP with "cluster log-forwarding create -destination ".
