Configure the maximum size of the audit log file. Once the log reaches the maximum size, it will be rotated and a new log file will be started. *Rationale* It is important that an appropriate size is determined for log files so that they do not impact the system and audit data is not lost.
Solution
Set the max_log_file parameter in /etc/audit/auditd.confmax_log_file = <MB> Note- MB is the number of MegaBytes the file can be.
