Endpoint settings: the Disk Space tab

Use the Disk Space tab of the Settings > General > Endpoint page to configure the maximum storage size for logs, incidents, and other data.

Near the top of the tab, the amount of space reserved for system file storage is displayed. This number cannot be changed.

Steps

  1. Set the Maximum log file size (16-100 MB) to limit the size of the endpoint client’s log file (16-100 MB; default is 16MB).
  2. Specify the Incident storage size (10-2000 MB) to allocate for disconnected endpoints (100 MB, by default).
  3. Specify the File fingerprint storage size (1-1000 MB) to allocate for storage of directory and SharePoint fingerprints (50 MB, by default).
  4. Specify the Database fingerprint storage size (1-1000 MB) to allocate for storage of database fingerprints (250 MB, by default).
  5. Specify the Contained file storage size to allocate for storage of contained files (500 MB, by default).

    Contained files are those that are held in temporary storage on an endpoint. Files are contained when policies prevent sensitive information from being written from an endpoint to a removable device—such as a USB flash drive, CD/DVD, or external hard disk—and an end user tries to copy a file to a forbidden device. See the Endpoint Solutions End User’s Guide for more information.

  6. Review the Total allocated disk space summary to see how much total storage space is being allocated for Forcepoint DLP functions on each endpoint machine, and make adjustments to the various disk space settings as needed.
  7. Click Save.
