I have a REST API collector source that appears to be having issues. I am trying to look at the job for more details but the FreeDiskSpaceJobArtifactReaper keeps reaping the job and now allow me to view any of the data. Is there a way to disable this? I have tried raising the artifact reaper period but it seems to still remove it immediately after it's run.

Do you have enough disk space available? The default is 5GB. You can update via limits.yml or in the UI described here: https://docs.cribl.io/stream/limitsyml/
# Min free disk space - The minimum amount of disk space in the system before various features will take
# measures to prevent disk usage (KB, MB, etc.)
# [string; default: 5 GB]

Melori, I think you may be correct. Our Cribl worker is installed on a pretty small filesystem. I am going to move it to our apps filesystem which has way more space.
