Title: Giant filter.log
Post by: mschmidt on March 02, 2022, 09:35:37 am

Hello, we have a problem with our filter log files.
After a while they fill up the filesystem with files with more than 200Gig of size.
This happens since we updated to 22.1.
We never had this problem before.

Has anyone hints about this problem?

this forum section has multiple reports and the explanation, a simple scan for threee posts below yours would find "dhcpd Logfiles are getting huge (7GB/Day!)".
Short answer, circular logs are not supported now. You need to reduce the logging level and set how many days to keep logs. Different sections of the UI.

thank you for your answer.
i have looked into the other posts and found my answer.
seems very strange that circular logs have been disabled.

It was removed, not disabled. ;)
