[Sophos SGG290] CPU 100% and log disk space too

Hello,

Our client is currently experiencing a problem.

His Sophos SG290 has a CPU and log disk problem at 100% continuously.

I have found people who talk about this and how to solve it: https://community.sophos.com/utm-firewall/f/management-networking-logging-and-reporting/33301/asg320-disk-space-full-and-100-cpu-load

i can't find the last one :

/var/storage/pgsql/init/reporting_db_init.sh

 

And I would like to know how is it possible to know the reason for such a large generation of logs as we had already done the log deletion a short time ago.

Because there is nothing on logs that can explain this (no DDOS...). 

This only solved the problem temporarily.

 

Here is my open case : 

04327429
Can you help me to find where is the problem ?
Regards.

  • Salut Raphaëlle and welcome to the UTM Community!

    What non-zero file sizes do you see when you enter the following command at the command line?

         ll /var/log/*.log|sort -n

    What processes do you see taking  so much CPU when you run top?

    Pictures or copied lines for both questions, please.

    Cheers - Bob

    Thank you for your help.

  • I asked the customer why the CPU is not 100% like last time, he told me that the CPU has random spikes. So it is not 100% all the time. Here is a picture of the spikes in question:
