SysLog Filling Quickly... Please Help

Featured Replies

Hi all, 

 

I hope that someone might be able to help me out with coming to the bottom of a recurrent issue that I have been having over the last 1-2 weeks. I am not sure why by the Syslog has been filling incredible fast.  Never used to do this. I can't remember if I changed anything that would cause syslog to fill. 

 

I have attached two diagnostics files.  One from just after a system reset. Then one from today where after 3 days syslog is at 60%. .

 

I will apologize if this ends up being a stupid simple things.  I am still learning.  But hope someone can help me out.

Top of my head, your memory is very fragmented and the VM is unable to allocate what it needs.  A reboot should fix it, but you might want to consider limiting the memory available for Duplicati (I would think that it's a pig on resource usage)

Hi Squid thanks for such a quick reply. 

 

how do I go about Limiting the memory available for Duplicati?  Sorry if this seems to be an easy answer..

 

Also not sure if it would make a difference,  But your comment made me think about a change I made like 1-2 months ago.  Where I set up a Ram-disk for plex transcoding with the following:  script found in the Plex-forum dialogue.    Do you think this might be causing it?  I set up the ram disk as I didn't want to keep using SSD for transcoding(as I had been doing for last 2 years. But happy to go back to that if it might be the cause.  

 

#!/bin/bash
mkdir /tmp/PlexRamScratch
mount -t tmpfs -o size=8g tmpfs /tmp/PlexRamScratch

Thanks, 

 

I have added the restriction memory to duplicati 3gb,  also decreased the size of the ram disk to 5gb 

then reset the system to see if this helps out. .  . 

 

  If anyone else has ideas of why it might be filling let me know.  I am also happy to repost diagnostics or other information if it will help

Wondering if anyone else has ideas what might be causing the filling of syslog

 

Tried the above. With improvement. 

 

I have attached newest diagnostics  at 54% full syslog after 5 days...
