Log disk suddenly filling up

Hi all. I have a UTM-425 v5 (White Sophos box) cluster, one of 4 clusters all running 9.313, and starting Friday, the logging partition started filling up at an accelerated rate. I had been using for years a 90-day setting on my log files, but I had to set it to delete daily or the partition would fill up. The only big change I've done is to set up a new VPN last Thursday, or one day before the accelerated log accumulation started. How do I find out what is causing me to get so many log messages?
TIA,
Brian

Brian, at the command line, could do ls -l /var/log/*.log to see what file is gigantic. If it's the badguy.log file, try tail /var/log/badguy.log and that might tell you. If not, open the badguy Live Log for a bit. Otherwise, you'll need to follow Scott's prescription. NotePad++ can handle giant files, and it's a free download.
