System and Network configuration • /var/log/syslog (9Gb) full of snmpd logs fills my /var !

Above all, Thanks for your time Fabien!


My last modified .log under /var/log/apt/ is 2023-07-03


I'm always concerning about message in log file :
Jul 7 22:08:10 <hostname> snmpd[<PID>]: send response: Failure in sendto (error parsing snmp message version)

I'm trying to find information about snmpd running on this machine (with a zabbix-agent too) and a line in /etc/snmp/snmpd.conf who says :

rocommunity <priv_xyz> <IP with no ping available>

According you, this IPv4 with no ping response (no "telnet <IP> 161") could generate this error message of "Failure in sendto" ? or should i focus on "error parsing snmp message version" ?



"To extinguish the flames but leave the embers"...

- I can't force a log rotate (partition is full!) or change to cron daily
- cp a new daemon.log.1 (10Ko) to crash daemon.log.1 (9 GB) with daemon.log untouched and daemon.log.1 gzipped on another partition (even if redundant logs) should not be suitable command ?
- restart snmpd daemon would change nothing...


Thank you for your kind attention Fabien
Philippe
