Severity: 4-Minor

Symptoms

WCCP uses /tmp/wccp.log as output for Diagnostic information, independent of log level or db key. This file can grow unbounded if there are never any WCCP packets sent. If packets are sent the file is cleaned up automatically.

Impact

/tmp/wccp.log grows unbounded, filling up the disk.

Conditions

This can occur if WCCP is configured but never goes beyond negotiation.

Workaround

None

Fix Information

None
