Policy Server stops unexpectedly

If the hard disk on the Policy Server machine runs out of free space, the Websense Policy Server service or daemon stops. Even if the lack of disk space is the result of a transient condition (another application creates large temporary files, for example, and then removes them), Policy Server does not restart automatically.

• If Filtering Service or Network Agent is installed on the Policy Server machine, a health alert message warns that disk space is getting low.
• When Policy Server stops, a health alert message is displayed.

Manually restart Policy Server to address the immediate issue. Then, determine which application is sometimes filling up all available disk space on the machine. You can then decide whether the best solution is to move the application to another machine or to add disk space to the Policy Server machine.
