Audit logs can consume all available partition space.
Audit data loss when /var/log is full.
Audit logging enabled for a sufficient period of time
You can recover disk space by manually removing unneeded logs in /var/log/audit.
The BIG-IP system periodically checks for free disk space at '/var/log'. If disk usage exceeds configured threshold and when software detects a possible problem with storing audit logs, all important processes are shut down to prevent generation of audit logs. If this occurs, the admin must manually recover the system.
