/var/log/system overflowing with fragmentation messages

Hello,

Since the upgrade to 24.1, my /var/log/system started overflowing with messages like this:
<13>1 2024-03-24T18:18:56-04:00 router.pfa.name kernel - - [meta sequenceId="30871983"] pf_normalize_ip: reass frag 28725 @ 1296-1410
<13>1 2024-03-24T18:18:56-04:00 router.pfa.name kernel - - [meta sequenceId="30871984"] pf_fillup_fragment: reass frag 28725 @ 1296-1410
<13>1 2024-03-24T18:18:56-04:00 router.pfa.name kernel - - [meta sequenceId="30871985"] pf_reassemble: complete: 0xfffff80118d44600(1430)


Maximum file size (MB) option seems not to work on this log. Rebooting helps for some time, then it starts again.

Tried changing notice to warning in /usr/local/etc/syslog-ng.conf.d/syslog-ng-local.conf
So far it's working, but doesn't seem like a proper solution.

Hmm, the log rotation is once per hour if required. Just how many messages are being generated here?


Cheers,
Franco

If you set it to "Generate debug messages for various errors." this will apparently start spamming. "Generate debug messages for various errors." should avoid these.

Doesn't seem like rotation works for /var/logs/system/*. No matter what values I set for max file size, it still grows uncontrollably until it fills the entire ramdisk.

Thank you, I'll try this one.

Well, you're still talking outside of specifics. Uncontrollably within an hour is possible hence my asking for specifics.
