Title

Known Issue: Usage agent on Linux generates excessive logging related to the Docker monitor daemon (IOJ-2249304)

Summary

The usage agent on Linux may generate a large volume of logging messages on computers meeting the following conditions:

The usage agent is enabled
The FlexNet inventory agent Docker daemon is not running (for example, because Docker is not installed)

This can result in log files growing over time to be very large.

Details

The following details may appear approximately every 40-90 seconds in the usage agent log (usageagent.log) due to this issue:

Repeated messages like the following can also appear in the /var/log/messages file:
