Ubuntu's default for ``space_left_action`` is ``SUSPEND``, which actually only suspends audit logging. That could be a security issue, so ``SYSLOG`` is recommended and is set by default be openstack-ansible-security. If syslog messages are being sent to remote servers, these log messages should alert an administrator about the disk being almost full. There are additional options available, like ``EXEC``, ``SINGLE`` or ``HALT``. To configure a different ``space_left_action``, set the following Ansible variable: .. code-block:: yaml space_left_action = SYSLOG For details on available settings and what they do, run ``man auditd.conf``. Some options can cause the host to go offline until the issue is fixed. Deployers are urged to **carefully read the auditd documentation** prior to changing the ``space_left_action`` setting from the default.
