Large etilqs##### files being created in the Windows/temp directory tied to nas each night

Issue/Introduction

We were getting alarms against our C drive where UIM is installed and tracked it down to etilqs##### files being created in the Windows/temp directory tied to nas each night. What is causing this?

Environment

Release: Any
Component: nas, HA

Resolution

This can happen if you are using nas (with replication) on an HA hub if the nas probe is shut down. The nas probe needs to be running on both the Primary hub and the HA hub.

1. Deactivate the nas probe on both hubs
2. Remove the files that are contained in C:\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\probes\service\nas\replication
3. Activate the nas probe on both hubs
