Frequency of l2ctrld.log entries

We have a case open with TAC at this time, and they noticed when looking for LACP issues that our l2ctrld.log on a few firewalls have not updated in some time - some have entries in the last day, others have not had any updates for over a week. I have been trying to find confirmation on what all will trigger the l2ctrld daemon to add to this log; from what I can see in our logs, it looks like it updates when we have a failover or configuration change, and isn't something that is constantly updating.

Can anyone confirm or deny how often this should be updating?

@hhorsley,

Depends on your configuration. Outside of actual error messages and ports actually dropping in and out, you'd see frequent logging if you had passive-pre-negotiation enabled in an HA pair, but otherwise it's really not that chatty of a log file.
