I just found out that on my webserver (Almalinux 8, DirectAdmin, OpenLiteSpeed) the file /var/log/https/stderr.log is 1.4 GB (4 years of data) and it appears to contain almost only lines with Cgroups returning success file: /sys/fs/cgroup/user.slice/ like:
Code:

I found that Cgoups might have to do something with tha cgi extension from OLS (logs are generated here). On my new server (Almalinux 10, DA, OLS) it's giving me the same lines.

What is causing these messages? How can we stop it?

And why isn't this log file rotated?
