Disk Space issues on the DLP Network Appliances (all versions of DLP)
Cause
If the disk space issue is caused by large number and size of files located in the /home/tablus/analyzer directory,  named with format  yyyyy_mm_dd_hh:00:00.html (example 2014_06_09_01:00:001.html). These files can be removed or moved to another location.
Resolution

The max number of files that are kept can be modified by the following steps:   

 Logon the network appliance as the tablus account, at the menu select option 6 (advanced) then option 1 (exit to shell)           
1. Change directories to /opt/tablus/bin.
2. Make a copy of the dlpsupport_analyzer_job.sh file.
3. Edit the file and change MAXFILE=50 to 5.


In the /opt/tablus/sensor/log directory, move or delete files with the older messages-*.log files.    Note: On the controller the log location is the /opt/tablus/controller/log directory.
