For reasons of unknown cause, a huge size of syslog continues to be created

I am struggling with huge syslog files that occur frequently. In only 24 hours, 740G files were created, and a lots of addresses were recorded.

Even similar domains and ip addresses appear repeatedly.

syslog, syslog.1, syslog.2.gz, syslog.3.gz, syslog.4.gz, syslog.5.gz, syslog.6.gz, syslog.7.gz Eight files have been created, all of which are 1.5T in size.

These huge files have filled the root mount, and they continue to produce the following errors.

bash: cannot create temp file for here-document: No space left on device

I'm sharing the log contents.

I doubt that this is related to hacking.

What do experts think?

I know that there is no problem with the system even if I delete these files, but I want to know the cause of the huge log file that continues to be generated even after deletion.

I am using Ubuntu version 18.04.

I don't want these huge log files to be created anymore. If hacking or other problems are the cause, please advise on how to solve them.

Thank you.


You are likely being attacked. Are you behind some kind of firewall?

You better use VNC via SSH tunneling.
