pfsense 0.69.10 still causes 100% CPU usage after clearing Firewall Log and syslogd process uses more than 90% of this.
It seems that there is an anomally somewhere during the reinitialization of the /var/log/filter.log file by the clog command that causes syslogd to consume that cpu time.
I have a hunch that
1.) the file generated by clog (with -i -s options) has incompatible format for syslogd or
2.) syslogd is 'unhappy' with the sudden change in the file /var/log/filter.log by another application like clog especially with a high volume of messages being logged
I have not tested the other log files yet and I haven't performed a tcpdump output for syslogd packets during this event..
Hope this helps.
