vmProtect 8.0.8184 /var/log/messages disk overflow web console does not work

Thread needs solution

I've noticed after a year usage the web console stops working: TCP ports 80 and 443 are closed.
When I entered into the service console (Alt+Ctrl+Shift+F1, Alt+F2) I found that /var/log/messages file was about 1.8Gb size and filled the entire disk.
Please, implement the log rotation for that file.
Would be nice to be implemented in 8.x.

Hi KDL ltd,

The growing /var/log/messages issue is already fixed in Acronis vmProtect 9 which is in Beta stage right now. You can verify the fix by getting the Beta here:

http://www.acronis.com/enterprise/products/vmprotect/beta.html

Besides this fix we have increased the size of the virtual appliance disks for newly deployed appliances in 9th version so that it can contain even large crash dumps without affecting the functionality of the appliance (i.e. without breaking it after any crash).

Thank you.

Hi KDL ltd,

I have checked your account and it appears that you have valid maintenance agreement until the end of this year. Maintenance allows getting upgrades for free and you will be eligible for that, so there should be no additional costs for 9th version in your particular case.

Thank you.

Unfortunately the budget for upgrade were declined.
So found a workaround:
in the hardware console type Ctrl+Alt+Shift+F1, the black text screen appears, type Alt+F2, the unix console appears, enter command "crontab -e", the unix "vi" editor is launched, then go to the last line, type "a" to switch to insert mode, then add the line "33 3 * * * >/var/log/messages" after the last one, to save type Escape, ":", "w", "q", Enter.
This fix will erase the log every night at 3:33 AM.
