Description:

  • profiles/rhel8+rhel9+rhel10/hipaa: add grub2_audit_backlog_limit_argument

  • The HIPAA profile enables a large number of audit rules which generates
    high volumes of kernel audit events at boot. Without a raised
    audit_backlog_limit, the kauditd hold queue overflows on reboot.

  • Set var_audit_backlog_limit=8192 and include the
    grub2_audit_backlog_limit_argument rule for RHEL8/9/10.
