C:\ProgramData\Cyvera\Prevention folder piling up after installing cortex XDR

L4 Transporter

Hi Team,

 

After installing cortex XDR, I can see C:\ProgramData\Cyvera\Prevention folder is getting filled up fast in one of the servers. There are a lot of activities on this server and Traps is catching some malicious activities often. This will definitely create logs, but i have below queries if anybody can help.

is there any way to restrict the disk usage ?. Will the disk usage pile up if there is no cloud connectivity or wildfire access ?. Will it be deleted once the data is presented to Cortex?

Is it recommended to have disk restriction by agent settings profile ?.

I am having XDR 7.2 agent

 

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Abdul_Razaq-

 

You can set the quota allowance within the agent profile.  Once the quota is reached, it is first in - first out.

Same issue, I can see ~40GB is full with xdr logs. But, rather limiting quota; should be technical reason why there are filling so fast.

Im gonna recommend open a TAC case for this. Default quota is 5 Gigabyte (Max 10) and should not spend more than this. Should be investigated by TAC engineer.
