Hi,

    Hi @xxup @Bruce_Briggs @RVilhelmsen

    This log message is the firewall moving the traffic.log file into the history_log archive. It does this in the event a support file is generated. It's just an informational log message, and doesn't indicate any error.

    Hi @James_Carson

    My cluster does it every few seconds?

    @RVilhelmsen
    If it's happening that often, I'd definitely qualify that it's a problem. I'd suggest opening a support case so that we can look into your settings and get a bug worked out from there.

    (Support case is to avoid potentially posting any personally sensitive info to the forums, anyone running into this issue is welcome to do the same.)

    Upgraded another cluster tonight and same log message. I guess, it has been this way always, but the log was never visible in FSM.

    Thanks for reporting. These were exposed in 12.6.2 and are harmless.
    You'll see these at log rollover which is around the 500K mark. Depending on your Traffic log activity, you may see this more frequently than others.

    Logged as a defect.

    Does anyone know if this has been fixed yet please? I see it in my M370 Dimension logs every few minutes. Running 12.7 update 1 Fireware and Dimension 2.2 (all latest)
