Verify the action the operating system takes if the disk the audit records are written to becomes full.

To determine the action that takes place if the disk is full on the remote server, use the following command:

# grep -i disk_full_action /etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf
disk_full_action = single

If the value of the "disk_full_action" option is not "syslog", "single", or "halt", or the line is commented out, this is a finding.

Uncomment or edit the "disk_full_action" option in "/etc/audisp/audisp-remote.conf" and set it to "syslog", "single", or "halt", such as the following line:

disk_full_action = single
