From syslog-ng Store Box (SSB) version 7.1.0, you have more options for managing data disks for your logspaces.
For more information about assigning the SSB logspace of your choice to the new custom cloud service provider data disk, see Assigning the SSB logspace of your choice to a custom cloud service provider data disk.
If you need more disk space than the disk size of your default data disk available in syslog-ng Store Box (SSB), from version 6.9.0, you can also add a custom cloud service provider data disk to your configuration. From 6.9.0, SSB supports adding a Microsoft Azure-managed disk and from 6.10.0, SSB supports adding additional disks in VMware ESXi to your SSB configuration as a custom cloud service provider data disk, and assigning the SSB logspace of your choice to it.
NOTE:
In version 7.1.0, SSB supports adding Microsoft Azure managed disks of up to 32,767 GiB storage space to your SSB device. For more information about managed data disks in Microsoft Azure, see Disk type comparison in the Microsoft Azure online documentation.
NOTE: From version 6.10.0, SSB supports adding additional hard disks as data disks in VMware ESXi Hypervisor. However, this documentation uses VMware vSphere Client to manage hard disks of SSB virtual machines hosted in VMware ESXi.
Adding a custom cloud service provider data disk to your SSB configuration requires procedures that you must complete in a strict order, both on the SSB side, and on the cloud service provider side, too.
