The wato audit log ~/var/check_mk/wato/log/wato_audit.log was not rotated regularly. This lead to an ever growing audit log, which could not be viewed anymore once it reached several hundred MB of log lines.

Therefore, the audit log will now rotate regularly to archive files bigger than 300MB.

Existing logfiles greater 300MB will be splitted up on update and the source file will be backed up as wato_audit.log_backup.
