Issue/Introduction
After scanning large targets and experiencing some FileReader restarts, you notice that the C:\ drive on the discover detection server is utilizing much more disk space than normal.
Investigation shows that the C:\Users\<protectUser>\AppData\Local\Temp folder is full of temporary files
Deleting these brings the disk down to the expected consumed space, however the disk begins to fill again when scheduled scanning resumes
Environment
Release : 15.x
Resolution
In the Enforce console:
Navigate to Servers and Detectors Overview
Click on the Discover Server you wish to configure
Click the Server Settings button
Locate the field: ContentExtraction.TemporaryDirectory
Enter a drive and path of a folder you wish to use (folder will be created if it doesn't exist)
Save the settings and recycle the detection server service
You should now find that temp files no longer accumulate on the drive over time.
