Alert for Audit log

Dear users,

I have SLES 11 and SLES 10 servers.

I'd like to receive an alert when audit log files reach certain percentage of full.

1. Is '/etc/audit/auditd.conf' the right file to modify?

2. I'd like to receive email alert. Can I specify my email in this parameter 'action_mail_acct = jpark@comp.xxxx.xxx'?

3. I'd like to get notified when the log file reaches 90%. What parameter value should I change? And where is it?

Thank you,

AUDIT_WARN(5)						      BSD File Formats Manual						     AUDIT_WARN(5)

NAME
audit_warn -- alert when audit daemon issues warnings DESCRIPTION
The audit_warn script runs when auditd(8) generates warning messages. The default audit_warn is a script whose first parameter is the type of warning; the script appends its arguments to /etc/security/audit_messages. Administrators may replace this script: a more comprehensive one would take different actions based on the type of warning. For example, a low-space warning could result in an email message being sent to the administrator. FILES
