Data disk cleanup process

Hi Hans,

Take SSH to UTM and execute the command "df -kh"

Monitor the troubling directory.

Thanks

This has become an increasing problem that someone has to manually Delete the Data Disk by doing the following.

Web Protection - Filtering Options - Misc - Clear Cache.

Usually I do this manually every time I receive e-mail alerts but this time I decided to wait and see if UTM cleaned up after it self.

Why does UTM not clean up the data disk when Caching is not enabled.

Regards

Hans Petter, when you see this message, what are you cleaning up?  As Sachin suggested, try df -h to see where to look, and then use du -shx * on the implicated sub-directories.  Is that where you've been cleaning up?  If you really do have a 290GB data disk, I can't imagine what would be gobbling over 10GB per day.

thought that UTM deleted the content on the datadisk when it reaches 80% of storage capacity automatically.

No, it only warns, when the partition gets nearly filled.

If that is a common problem, that your data disk has a high grow rate you might want to check Bob's shell command from here: https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/f/web-protection-web-filtering-application-visibility-control/46820/high-bandwidth-usage/326989#326989

Sometimes this happens, when AV scanning is enabled in Web Protection and some auto-updating tools are not able to handle this. In that case you should skip AV and/or Do not display download/scan progress page for the specific URLs that cause the problems.
