Issue/Introduction

Data Center Security 6.5 MP1 HF6 manager.log grows out of control and is filling up disk with Titanium related messages. The sis-server{X.EN_US}.log is showing many messages too but that log rolls-over in a controlled manner, the manager.log cannot be controlled by a configuration setting.

 

sis-server{X.EN_US}.log:

Environment

Symantec Data Center Security: Server Advanced 6.5 MP1 HF6 (6.5.0.612).

 

Cause

The server is trying to push LU package to the agent. The more the agents registered with the server the faster the logs will grow. The logs are more verbose than intended in this particular build of the manager.
 

Resolution

Upgrade to DCS 6.7 or above.

Note: The manager.log will be cleared on the (re)-start of the DCS manager service - to prevent the hard-disk from filling up, you could schedule the DCS manager service to restart periodically (and clear the log) until such time you are ready to upgrade to a newer DCS version that does not generate as many messages in the manager.log
