Syslog file size is growing

[lalit]

Hi ,

I have a Cisco Work Server (LMS 2.6 Version ) in which syslog.log file is growing like anything.Earlier it use to grow around 500MB to 1GB Per day.Since last one week its growing around 6 to 7 Gb per day.I am moving the syslog file through Logrot Script.I wanted to know is there any issue which causing syslog file to grow 6 to 7Gb per day.

Please help me in resolving this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks & Regds,

One approach would be to run a Severity Level Summary or 24-hr Syslog Analysis report in RME, either of which would get you some rough idea of what's the most chatty message. Then zero in from there.

Or you could awk the syslog_info file directly from CLI and tally the hosts/message types to find the offender(s).
