Scenario:
- The customer was getting an error at 2% (loading too slow) in GUI while checking for the forward traffic logs in GUI.
- Changed the status to memory but still no logs same error.
- Disabled the disk logging but still no change.
Logs are taken during the time of issue.

Disable the debug processes with the following commands:
diagnose debug disable
diagnose debug reset
After seeing the error in the index file, try killing the httpsd, and miglogd processes :
fnsysctl killall httpsd
fnsysctl killall miglogd
If the issue still persists, refer to the following steps.
When searching logs stored in disk or memory, the log search daemon (log_se)'s child process (chile process) creates a temporary index file on the local hard disk. If this process fails, the log search will be stopped.
Since this cannot be solved in terms of S/W, it seems that the following method can be performed.
- Reboot (there is a possibility that the damaged disk can be recovered by rebooting).
- When searching logs after method 1, a log such as 'write_file_line_nos_into_index_file:360 Failed to open search index file'. session_ID=x' is recorded in the miglogd log. If this happens, there may be a way to format the hard disk.
Note: After disabling the hard disk logging and using the memory alone will also have such a problem.
This is because when doing any kind of log search, it does not matter if it is from a disk log or memory log, the log search child process will make a temporary index file on disk and if that step fails, the log search will die too. That is exactly what is shown in the debug log.
