NetworkManager flooding syslog after non-related updates
by elMoco from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5KSV3)
Hi!
I updated today slackware-current with the last week changes, and none of them were related to NetworkManager, and I realised my message file was growing too much. Checking it, I had tons of lines like:
Code:Jul 2 10:11:39 liet NetworkManager[17310]: <info> [1625217099.7318] audit: op="statistics" arg="refresh-rate-ms" pid=5773 uid=1973 result="success"I had made no changes to NetworkManager configuration, and I checked if the messages were new or they were there before and (today, only from 7:55 to 10:11 IST):
Code: 2 Jun 27
30 Jun 28
2 Jul 1
4238893 Jul 2I could not find any reason for this and I solved it by changing the loglevel for AUDIT to WARN from INFO. But I had no change it before, it was always using the default value.
I guess any of the updates I installed today (probably the kernel) caused a change in the AUDIT logs, but I don't know yet.
The thing is guys, have a look on your log files, specially if you see you are running out of free disk.
