The auditd daemon can be configured to halt the system when the audit logs are full.
Rationale:
In high security contexts, the risk of detecting unauthorized access or nonrepudiation exceeds the benefit of the systems availability.
Parameter:
[ignore/syslog/email, email account, ignore/syslog/email/exec/suspend/single/halt]
Technical Mechanism:
Add the following lines to the /etc/audit/auditd.conf file.
space_left_action = email
action_mail_acct = root
admin_space_left_action = halt
