Opened: Apr 27, 2019

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

When the SNMP daemon experiences an error when it attempts to statfs a file then it logs an error message. If the file is not present then this error is repeatedly logged and can fill up the log file.

Impact

This can fill up the log with errors.

Conditions

When an SNMP request causes the daemon to query a file on disk it is possible that a system error occurs. If the file is not present then the error is logged repeatedly.

Workaround

None

Fix Information

The SNMP daemon has been fixed to log this error once.
