[Solved] Syslog constantly filling up after 2 weeks

[fronzbot]

I've been running into an issue where my syslog is filling up after about 2 weeks of uptime.  I don't know when it started as I've only recently noticed and have watched it fill up twice now and it is well on its way to filling up for a third time.  I've tried debugging, but am at a loss as to what is causing an issue (nothing immediately jumps out to me in the log, but I'm aware of my limitations enough to know it's highly likely I've missed something).

 

I've attached my diagnostics file and really could use anyone's help debugging this. It's not causing any problems that I'm aware of, but it's annoying for sure.  I'm on unraid 6.6.6.

Well your syslog isn't to blame.

 

Click on >_Terminal and enter this at the command line then post a screenshot:

ls -lah /var/log

Here is the screen shot of that dir:

How about this one:

du /var/log

Ahh, nice- atop is causing the problem.  Forgot I had that installed with nerdtools plugin.  Thanks for the debug help (I'm going to mark this as solved)!

 

Just for completion's sake, here is the output (with -h flag as well):
