job.log "explodes" in size

Post by mcz »

Dear PM's,

some weeks ago, I received a call from a collegue with the information that his local disk was full - which surprised me. TreeSize immediately mentioned the culprit - the veeam agent. Looks like that the job.log has generated an insane amount of data (>70 GB!!) which has filled the disk. Now of course, I don't have the file anymore (cause I had to delete it immediately to free up the disk) but it looks like that there's something wrong with the code here - or at least the check "am I too big" is missing.

Maybe QA can have a look at this issue. Thanks!

Yes Rovshan, thanks, this is a technical issue. But is it possible to have an investigation if the file isn't persist anymore? I mean you can't really investigate the crime if the crime scene is gone...

Hello,

I suggest that if the issue occurs again, you should zip the log file and move it to a different location instead of removing it. This way, you can submit the zipped log file along with the case for further analysis.
