Issue

  • I see the below messages are repeating quite often, why :-
Sep 23 08:36:26 server auditd[3271]: Audit daemon rotating log files
Sep 23 09:22:43 server auditd[3271]: Audit daemon rotating log files
Sep 23 10:09:05 server auditd[3271]: Audit daemon rotating log files
Sep 23 10:55:28 server auditd[3271]: Audit daemon rotating log files
  • How do I find out the reason for incessantly growing /var/log/audit.log files?

Environment
