SCSP agent logs are almost consuming all disk space

Products

• Critical System Protection

Issue/Introduction

SCSP agent has been installed. After a while, you notice a lot of zip files are consuming all disk space. These files are stored into following folder:

 => /var/log/scsplog/archive (UNIX system)
 => C:\Program Files\Symantec\Critical System Protection\Agent\scsplog (Windows system)

You need to free space on the drive, otherwise the client machine may crash.

 

Cause

There may be two reasons:

1. 'Delete log files after processing' config rule has not been used

2. 'Delete log files after processing' has been recently applied to agent, however it does not impact older logs

 

Resolution

1. Configure log settings properly on SCSP console:

2. Manually delete/archive scsplog folder content

 

Applies To

SCSP agent 5.2.x installed.
