Description

I recently saw this issue on a production 2.4.4-RELEASE-p2

Root filesystem was full due to not ticking a box for log rotation.

The main dashboard was an empty screen. Squid and Suricata had both died silently. Firewall was still passing traffic without AV or IPS.
Not only that but their configs were lost and had to be restored from backup.

I realise that certain configurations could have prevented this, or at least alerted that their was an issue. But this is a pretty terrible thing to happen out-of-the-box.
