Either your server has an extremely long uptime, or your syslog could be potentially being spammed with error messages. A reboot of your server will at least temporarily solve

You could try running the command

du -h /var/log

to see what is taking up the space.

I don't have any updates for Unraid connect or my plugins

I'm having exactly the same issue currently. Just reached the 100% filled mark:

 

du -h -d 1 /var/log
0       /var/log/pwfail
124M    /var/log/unraid-api
0       /var/log/preclear
0       /var/log/swtpm
4.2M    /var/log/samba
0       /var/log/sa

4.0K    /var/log/nginx
0       /var/log/nfsd
4.0K    /var/log/libvirt
128M    /var/log

 

 

Did just get an update notification for connect update.

 

I'll reboot the server so the logs get cleared and follow up if this gets filled up again.
