LollyColinRhodes 0 Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 Hi there, I logged into one of the servers I manage today to discover that /var/log/esets was full of a large number of .dat files. These had effectively filled my root partition and caused the system to stop functioning as expected. How do I go about cleaning out these logs automatically? I don't want to have to log in periodically and clear them by hand, and I don't know what the impact of doing so is on the normal operation of the product. Thanks in advance, Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,228 Posted April 14, 2018 Administrators Share Posted April 14, 2018 Please upload one of the smaller dat files to Dropbox, OneDrive, etc. and provide a download link. You can safely delete the other big dat files in that folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LollyColinRhodes 0 Posted April 14, 2018 Author Share Posted April 14, 2018 Sorry Marcos - I had to delete them to make space to get the system to run. Is there anything else i can look at? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,228 Posted April 15, 2018 Administrators Share Posted April 15, 2018 Unfortunately without knowing what was being logged that made the logs that big I cannot advise any further. Try to reproduce it and then provide such dat file for perusal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
