MIST is creating a lot of files.

Customer is seeing several of the following files in the log.

We open the files and we can see the following:

2024-08-21 05:02:29,785 MXOC WARNING PROCESSED EVENT -> {"attributes": {"description": "BGP Routing Protocol(47) usage requires a license", "iface": "", "short_description": "BGP Routing Protocol(47) usage requires a license", "type": "CHASSIS"}, "epochtime": "1724241740", "message": "Alarm set: License id=0, color=YELLOW, class=CHASSIS, reason=BGP Routing Protocol(47) usage requires a license", "target": null, "time": "2024-08-2112:02:20UTC", "type": "OC_ALARM"}

They seem to be related to the BGP license.

Looking at the RSI, I can see there is no BGP license added to this device. Please add a license and monitor if the files decrease.

Customer was requested to add the BGP license and monitor if the files cease.
