TrueNAS Scale Filling SMB Audit Logs

Would installing an upgrade offline via usb and the latest iso correct this or am I inviting more potential risk by not resolving it first?

Netdata spam issue is already fixed in 24.04.2 IIRC.

Thanks for confirming! Any way to fix it so it boots from the cli?

I honestly don’t see a way that the netdata log spam could cause middleware start to timeout.

yeah weird. The Netdata service wont load which is probably needed for the plugin (audit) in the middlewared. So thats probably why it wont load and fails during plug 110 (audit) out of 111.

FYI to those affected by this. We’re changing the defaults for the audit page in Electric Eel to not display SMB audit entries. These will still be visible via the services form or by performing an advanced query. The main audit form will show administrative actions (configuration changes made via API / UI and commands that users run with sudo access).

This should make the form somewhat more intuitive and improve performance significantly.

Inquiring minds want to know: Can I have details about each log levels? (Minimum, Normal, Full, and Debug) I want to know what kind of events each of them catch.

Well, if you’re in doubt you can always ask an engineer or support team member. :wink:

Log levels for samba:

  • MINIMUM - what you should use unless you are trying to debug a problem
  • everything else - what you should not use unless you are debugging a problem.

These are debug logs, they’re not audit logs. TL;DR, unless you’re a developer - no touchy.
