Re: [cobalt-users] A tad bit of a problem

[Christian Jiresjö <ds98chji@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You should look into to your loggingconfiguration and the amount of space
on your partion holding /var/log because 82.9% off your cputime is used by
syslogd which isn't normal especially not if it is like that all the time
and not just at some peak time.

Check that you can answer no to these 4 questions:
1. Do you have logrotate properly set up?
2. Is your log partion full?
3. Do you have execessive rules in syslog.conf?
4. Do you have something creating a logstorm?
