SDL logs for. Sophos Intercept-x for server occupying massive disk space

Alok Gupta

Hi

I am using SOPHOS Intercept-x for server with server lockdown feature and noticing that SOPHOS SDL log files keep on increasing and storing more than a year logs. Resulting no space left on the disk.

Pls suggest workaround to remove these logs and to limit the log upto a month only.

Thanks,

    Hi Alok,

    Thank you for reaching out to the Sophos Community Forum. 

    If you need to free up disk space immediately, you can do so by unlocking the server in order to delete the oldest log files. 

    I have reached out internally to get more information on this behaviour and will follow up with you here with anything I'm able to share.

    Hi Kushal 

    Thanks for your reply!

    I am trying to delete the logs manually but it taking huge time. Beside this, I can't delete all the logs as the server gets hanged, so I have to select small bunch of files to delete  which is taking long time and number of files in the log folder is approx 20lacs.

    I received an update from our team. We do have plans to address this issue in a release later this year, however, we do not have a definitive time frame as to when you can expect the fix to be pushed out.

    Manually clearing the files may be the best option in the meantime.

    Why do I need to unlock the server to delete the SLD log files?
