SQL Server auditing configuration maximum number of files must be configured to reduce the likelihood of storage capacity being exceeded, while meeting organization-defined auditing requirements.
Description
Discussion Text
Configure SQL Server during the installation and/or configuration process to determine if adequate storage capacity has been allocated for audit logs.
If SQL Server audit logs that are being generated exceed the amount of space reserved for those logs, the system may shutdown or take other measures to stop processing in order to protect transactions from continuing unlogged.
After the initial setup of SQL Server audit log configuration, it is best to check the available space frequently until the maximum number of files has been reached. Checking the available space can help determine the balance of online audit data with space required.
