Fix Recommendation

Migrate the SUSE operating system audit data path onto a separate file system.

Check Contents

Verify that the SUSE operating system has a separate file system/partition for the system audit data path.

Check that a file system/partition has been created for the system audit data path with the following command:

Note: "/var/log/audit" is used as the example as it is a common location.

#grep /var/log/audit /etc/fstab
UUID=3645951a /var/log/audit ext4 defaults 1 2

If a separate entry for the system audit data path (in this example the "/var/log/audit" path) does not exist, ask the System Administrator if the system audit logs are being written to a different file system/partition on the system and then grep for that file system/partition.

If a separate file system/partition does not exist for the system audit data path, this is a finding.
