Single packet threat pcap and disk space alert

MP18 — Sat, 13 Oct 2018 14:23:08 GMT

I have enabled threat signature to capture single file only.

but from last 3 days i see so many same threat logs with pcap done.

i got email today of disk space alert

i checked disk space

show system disk-space

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md2 3.8G 3.3G 341M 91% /
/dev/md5 7.6G 3.4G 3.8G 48% /opt/pancfg
/dev/md6 3.8G 2.7G 910M 76% /opt/panrepo
tmpfs 2.0G 116M 1.9G 6% /dev/shm
cgroup_root 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /cgroup
/dev/md8 198G 139G 50G 74% /opt/panlogs
tmpfs 12M 0 12M 0% /opt/pancfg/mgmt/lcaas/ssl/private

does the threat pcap or all the pcaps stored in /dev/md2???????

as a workaround i have disabled the pcap on the threat signature?

All packet captures are stored on the root partition, i.e. the one that is mounted on / (md2)

If you are on PAN-OS 8.0 you can use the command debug software disk-usage aggressive-cleaning enable which will purge old process log files (log files ending in .1, .2, .3, .4 or .old) once the root parition reaches 95%
