Virtuoso Bridge is exceeding disk utilization

Article Overview:

This article will cover what to do in case of disk utilization issues for Bridge machine

Problem Statement:

You have received a notification from the EC2 Server that the disk utilization limit has been exceeded in the location where bridge client.exe was hosted.

Solution:

The bridge client is a command line program. When we launch it, we see some logs written to the console. However, we can ask that the logs be written to a file instead of in the console.

E.g.: run ls and run ls > output_from_ls.txt.

In the first case, you will see the files and folders from the current dir in the console.

In the second case, you'll see that a file was created with that content instead.

All the disk space consumed by the bridge client is the executable itself, which is small and obviously cannot be deleted, and, possibly, the generated log files, which can be deleted.
