Update Error ESET File Security for Linux

[Help Desk San 1]

ESET File Security for Linux 7.2.578.0

The following error occurs every hour.
□Error updating Antivirus modules: Error creating temporary file name. 

The following paths appear to be the source.
□/var/log/esets/eset-syslog.log 

Please let me know if you know the cause and how to deal with it.

Hi,

this looks like some issue during regular update of modules, they are triggered each hour. Would it be possible to send logs for further investigation? (Collect logs | ESET File Security for Linux | ESET Online Help). On first sight, I would tell, that product has issue to create temp file during download of latest modules. Maybe you could check, if there is enough space and also if there aren't some special write restrictions. 

Regards,
Kurco

Hi, Kurco

Which logs are needed?

eset-syslog.log ???
efs_info ???
audit.log ???

Hi,

"/opt/eset/efs/sbin/collect_logs.sh" is a script, which collects every useful logs and creates an archive from them, when executed. Would be best to have this, but basically system logs could be enough (depends on distribution, could be "syslog", "messages" etc). Honestly, I'm not sure what "eset-syslog.log" contains, because this isn't created by default by our product. Most probably, it's some custom configuration of syslog. 

Logs could be send to me by private message, you don't need to attach them here to be accessible for everyone.

I sent you the log.
Please check it.

Response will be slow because business time is over in Japan.

Did you check /var/tmp which I assume is the folder where temporary files are created? It's possible that there are a lot of NUP*.tmp files for some reason and therefore new ones cannot be created.

Hi Marcos

Do I just delete NUP*.tmp?
Do I need to check permissions and free space?

[Help Desk San 1]

There is no nup file in /var/tmp.
The files are located in the following paths
