Are you using the stig.rules from the audit package or something else? If I
were you, I'd spend some time making sure your rules are tuned. Assuming that
you have keys on you rules, you can run a key report to see what is causing
you the most events: aureport --start this-week --key --summary.
Then you'd want to dig into some of those records and see what kinds of things
are happening. Assuming you have a key of delete and you wanted to see what
syscalls are the most often logged:
ausearch --start this-week -k delete --raw | aureport --syscall --summary -i
Assuming that shows unlinkat the most prevalent syscall:
ausearch --start this-week -k delete -sc unlinkat --raw |
aureport --user --summary -i
And so on until you see what is causing so much logging. This doesn't help
with the archiving, but could help you get the right audit data recorded.
