Please make sure that you have logging of all blocked communications disabled in the IDS setup. This should only be enabled while troubleshooting issues with blocked communications, otherwise the size of the firewall log may grow quickly.
If you would like to delete the logs, open ESS, go to Tools > Log Files > Firewall Logs, right-click an entry and choose "Delete All" and this should delete all of your FW Logs.
yes know I enabled it for trying found problem, but i forget turned off, now this functionality is turned off, but I wants to delete this 4GB log file that I try but nothing is showed (delete all is not enabled, maybe some there is some error if logs is to big ... i waited about 2 hours) here are some screenshots http://i36.tinypic.com/2ily3w5.jpg http://i34.tinypic.com/6pc7es.jpg
just see my screen ... when I go to window where logs are shown than application looks that something is fetching ... but nothing is shown (I cant delete all and i cant delete one by one) I have only blank page (but firewall log has got about 4GB)
Delete C:\ProgramData\ESET\ESET Endpoint Security\Logs\epfwlog.dat in safe mode. Also make sure that logging of blocked communications is disabled.
thank you, after deleting logs under safe mode it working OK maybe it will be better to fix this issue with big logs
In future versions, users should be warned if debug logging is enabled which usually results in production of large logs.
