Carbon Black Sensor directory size exceeding value set by the "Sensor-side Max Disk Usage" setting

Carbon Black Sensor directory size exceeding value set by the "Sensor-side Max Disk Usage" setting

Version

This solution applies to all Carbon Black versions.

Topic

The %WINDIR%\CarbonBlack directory is exceeding the size limit set by the Sensor Group Setting "Sensor-side Max Disk Usage".

Q/A

Question:

Specifically what is the Sensor Group disk quota setting "Sensor-side Max Disk Usage" applicable for?

Answer:

The setting applies to the Windows Sensor directories:

%WINDIR%\CarbonBlack\Eventlogs

%WINDIR%\CarbonBlack\store

Note: The single setting is applied to both directories. If a value of 200mb is set, this will be divided in half so that the "Eventlogs" directory would not exceed 100mb, and the "store" directory would also not exceed 100mb.

The setting does not apply to the parent %WINDIR%\CarbonBlack directory, but specifically those two directories only.
