Logs filling up - SOLVED

[John_J]

Hiya,

 

It looks like my transmission docker is spamming my log file, to the point I have to restart the system every couple of days as the log maxes out.

 

I can't down the the diagnostics, it just sits on the page and doesn't go anywhere.  Any thoughts on on how I can access the logs or better still stop the client spamming the logs?

 

Many thanks in advance.

I'm running 6.9.2 and using linuxserver/transmission

I can't download the diagnostics as the page just sits there and doesn't do anything.

What do you get from the command line with this?

df -h

Can you get syslog, zip it, and attach?

[John_J]

Please see attached

syslog (2).zip syslog.zip

Most of that is just entries about full cache. What makes you think transmission has anything to do with it? Even if transmission is filling cache that just means you need to configure things differently and transmission isn't really to blame.

 

If you reboot log space will reset. Reboot then
