@jnasselle This footprint change is due to the new Vulnerability Detector feed, that is now included out-of-the-box:

du -hd0 /var/ossec/queue/vd/feed

4.5G    /var/ossec/queue/vd/feed

It's known and approved by @santiago-bassett.

Best!

The issue requires a new owner and a new estimation.

The same level of compression used in wazuh-dashboard packaging was ported here. The size was reduced significantly with the drawback of greater execution time.
