A few days ago, our ESA service went down. While I was able to restart the process, I'm attempting to determine what happened to it. I've gone through the log files in the following locations and did not find any OOM or other errors that would indicate the root cause. Are there any other logs or locations on the ESA server I could search? 

 

/var/log/messages

/opt/rsa/esa/logs/esa.log.*

Hi you could also have a look in:

 

/opt/rsa/esa/wrapper.log

 

Common reasons for the ESA going down are rogue ESA Rules exhausting all available memory.

Thanks! That appears to be the right log file, although root cause still unknown.

Hi David,

currently my opt/rsa/esa directory is 100% utilize in terms of storage and I can see wrapper.log consumes 95% of it.  what and how to clear that?
