Hello,
When a backup of one of our linux client runs, the /var/log/kernel file on the client is growing up with entries like this one :
Feb 4 18:08:13 tu-bdcout-q01 kernel: : # NetBakup # IN=eth0 OUT= MAC=00:50:56:92:00:fb:00:23:04:fb:50:80:08:00 SRC=10.120.51.1 DST=10.120.4.2 LEN=72 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=64 ID=1096 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=33867 DPT=1556 WINDOW=501 RES=0x00 ACK URGP=0
This leads the file to grow up to 1Gb, and fill up our /var partition
I'm not sure what process is filling up the file.. is it a netbackup process or some server log process ?
The Default log originator value is set like this at this time :
bash-3.2# ./vxlogcfg -a -p 51216 -o Default -l

Our master server is a RedHat 2.6 kernel 2.6.18-308.11.1.el5
Running NBU 7.1.0.3 :
NetBackup-RedHat2.6 7.1.0.3
Our client is the same (same OS, kernel and NBU version)
Have you ever seen this before ?
Thank you

It's not Netbackup. It's iptables logging traffic

Thanks a lot Nicolai ...
I found these entries in /etc/sysconfig/iptables file and removed them ...
(...) --dport 1556 -j LOG --log-level debug --log-prefix " # NetBakup # "

I don't believe NBU writes directly to this log. Not to say we're not invoved in some way (clearly we are) , perhpas the logging level can be adjusted from the OS ...
... just a thought
