Yeah, F5 Engineers suggested this option and another engineer suggested the below

bash
cd /var/log

But before following any of these steps , we wanted to make sure that removing this log file would not cause any impact or outage

    have you tried this by now? if so can you share the result.

     

    if you are still waiting i would say contact the F5 engineers (support) about this to be sure.
