File /var/log/smartd.log.dbg growing large

Hello,

Our customer has Maestro setup with 2xMHO140 and 3x6200, single site, single security group as a security gateway (not VSX) running R81.10 with JHF T66. All three SGMs have a very large file /var/log/smartd.log.dbg, currently taking about 38GB. That means /var/log has reached 80% and after one SGM crashed and generated core dump, /var/log/ was full until we deleted core dump. All three SGMs were rebooted last night (fixing some bond MAC address related issue), one at a time.

It seems that the file is not rotating as it should:

# ls -lh /var/log/smartd.log*
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin root 29K Dec 13 03:29 /var/log/smartd.log
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin root 37G Dec 13 10:52 /var/log/smartd.log.dbg

-rw-rw---- 1 admin root 1.1M Oct 11 2022 /var/log/smartd.log.dbg.9
-rw-r--r-- 1 admin root 16K Jan 4 2023 /var/log/smartd.log.err

The file is not listed in /etc/cpshell/log_rotation.conf

# grep "var/log/sm" /etc/cpshell/log_rotation.conf
/var/log/smd_smo.log 524288000 1
/var/log/smd.log 1048576 4
/var/log/smo_rest.log 1048576 10

What is recommended course of action?

Thank you

Please check the sk https://support.checkpoint.com/results/sk/sk179712

Also you can clear the file with echo "" > ./gaia_api_server.log

Thank you,

Since this thread was initially marked as SPAM and not visible, I opened an SR and got the SK from TAC. All fixed now, thank you
