Description
Determine how many log files
auditd
should retain when it rotates logs.
Edit the file /etc/audit/auditd.conf
. Add or modify the following
line, substituting NUMLOGS with the correct value of 5:
Set the value to 5 for general-purpose systems.
Note that values less than 2 result in no log rotation.
Rationale
The total storage for audit log files must be large enough to retain
log information over the period required. This is a function of the maximum log
file size and the number of logs retained.
Shell script
The following script can be run on the host to remediate the issue.
#!/bin/bash
# Remediation is applicable only in certain platforms
if [ ! -f /.dockerenv ] && [ ! -f /run/.containerenv ] && rpm --quiet -q audit; then
var_auditd_num_logs='5'
AUDITCONFIG=/etc/audit/auditd.conf
# Strip any search characters in the key arg so that the key can be replaced without
# adding any search characters to the config file.
stripped_key=$(sed 's/[\^=\$,;+]*//g' <<< "^num_logs")
# shellcheck disable=SC2059
printf -v formatted_output "%s = %s" "$stripped_key" "$var_auditd_num_logs"
# If the key exists, change it. Otherwise, add it to the config_file.
# We search for the key string followed by a word boundary (matched by \>),
# so if we search for 'setting', 'setting2' won't match.
if LC_ALL=C grep -q -m 1 -i -e "^num_logs\\>" "$AUDITCONFIG"; then
escaped_formatted_output=$(sed -e 's|/|\\/|g' <<< "$formatted_output")
LC_ALL=C sed -i --follow-symlinks "s/^num_logs\\>.*/$escaped_formatted_output/gi" "$AUDITCONFIG"
else
if [[ -s "$AUDITCONFIG" ]] && [[ -n "$(tail -c 1 -- "$AUDITCONFIG" || true)" ]]; then
LC_ALL=C sed -i --follow-symlinks '$a'\\ "$AUDITCONFIG"
fi
printf '%s\n' "$formatted_output" >> "$AUDITCONFIG"
fi
else
>&2 echo 'Remediation is not applicable, nothing was done'
