Fix Recommendation

Configure the container platform to continue generating audit records overwriting oldest audit records in a first-in-first-out manner when the failure is due to a lack of audit record storage. When the audit failure is due to a communication to a centralized collection server, configure the container platform to queue audit records locally until communication is restored or the records are retrieved manually. If other actions are to be taken for audit record failures, the actions and rationale must be documented in the system security plan and risk acceptance approvals must be obtained.

Check Contents

Review the configuration settings to determine how the container platform components are configured for audit failures. When the audit failure is due to the lack of audit record storage, the container platform must continue generating audit records, restarting services if necessary, and overwrite the oldest audit records in a first-in-first-out manner.

If the audit failure is due to a communication to a centralized collection server, the container platform must queue audit records locally until communication is restored or the records are retrieved manually.

If the container platform is not configured to handle audit failures appropriately, this is a finding.
