Disk Usage Strange

andrebr

The used disc is behaving strangely.

After two of the migrations are finished, I am noticing that it is increasing GB considerably. It has arrived to increase 1G in 1 hour.

Today from 10.57 GB it went to 4.3 GB.

I think I found it. It was the server logs.

There were errors there giving almost 2.5 GB.

Some I managed to solve, as it was new PHP nomenclatures.

Some like this I can't resolve as ModSecurity: collections_remove_stale: Failed to lock proc mutex ....

Are these logs deleted?

Thank you for pointing this out. We are working on the mod security bug currently. We would not hold it against you if you went over for logs and would work with you before taking any action. Logs are rotated daily and deleted after a while.

johns Hi John, i'm still seeing this ModSecurity notification in the apache_errors.log daily. Is there any treatment/explanation yet?

merten the errors are due to a bug in our mod_security configuration. They shouldn't be causing any problems other than a bit of noise in your logs.

If the log entries are presenting a problem for you then you can suppress them by disabling mod_security by adding the following to your app's .htaccess:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
  SecFilterEngine Off
  SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

This will turn off the mod_security application firewall for that application which will eliminate the errors in your logs.
