Description | This article describes how to avoid FortiSIEM crashes because of growing logs |
Scope | FortiSIEM. |
Solution |
When FortiSIEM is running into some errors, the system is writing those errors in log files. Some errors may be looping in short periods that make the disk full and the FortiSIEM go down. To avoid that, it is possible to define the logs on a dedicated disk to avoid disruption on system disks.
Here are the steps to follow from super CLI as root:
# Check disk space on /opt df -h # Create a virtual disk of 9GB in /opt # Stop the ph services # Copy the files # Mount the virtual disk mount -t auto -o loop /opt/logVirtDisk.img /opt/phoenix/log # Restore the files cd / # Restart services
If the system is looping in an error, it will fill up only this virtual disk. |
