Why does my Agent keep running out of disk space?

Depending on the amount of hard drive space you have allocated to your virtual machine, the disk may be reaching its full capacity. It should be noted that the Agent performs a significant number of activities that may result in several gigs of files being stored.

For example, during the enumeration phase, the Agent attempts to enumerate as much information as possible about every system that's in scope. As a result, it may collect large files containing the results of tools, etc. Additionally, when performing vulnerability scans, the Agent also tends to run updates that may result in several gigs of updated plugins being downloaded and installed onto the Agent.

According to the resource requirements for the vPenTest Agent, it is recommended to allocate at least 80 GB of disk space to the Agent's hard drive.
