Environment
- Endpoint Standard: 2.6 and below
- Linux: All Supported Version
- File server
- Background scan enabled on server
Symptoms
db_rep grows to several GB in size only days after installation
Cause
Background scan will stop reputations of all files pre-existing on the server. For file servers, this can cause the file to grow very large
Resolution
Additional Notes
Sensor version 2.7 is planned to have a setting to prune the database when it grows too large.
