Powershell: Verbose Syslog logging + GUID directory created for PowerShell Script Execution on Ubuntu1604
It appears that PowerShell Core creates some pretty verbose logging into syslog on Ubuntu1604, as well as created a GUID directory in /tmp during script execution.
Syslog messages:

Example of pipes from dotnet clr and GUI directory being created (visible using "inotifywait -e create -m /tmp" to monitor /tmp):
/tmp/ CREATE clr-debug-pipe-9951-96248424-in
/tmp/ CREATE clr-debug-pipe-9951-96248424-out
/tmp/ CREATE,ISDIR 63b11b94-e868-42ea-96a2-5f3ae578fdcf
Is there a way to disable these messages/the GUID directory from being created?

syslog problem was a known bug that got fixed.
You can get the fix by rebuilding from current sources or wait couple of days for the next release.
For more info see #6032 and #6218

@anmenaga what about the GUID directory? that's what's currently killing me right now. It leaves behind a ton of GUID directories until /tmp has so many files it falls over.

@dantraMSFT @daxian-dbw for info about GUID directories in /tmp

It sounds like this might be coming from dotnet clr. They have me post a ticket over here about the syslog and they're now checking but they believe it might be coming from dotnet.

dotnet says the GUID directory is coming from PowerShell https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr/issues/8844

Hi all,
This still appears to be a problem for me as well - as per dotnet/coreclr#8844 they reference the GUID/Verbose logging as a PowerShell issue. Anyone have any ideas how to fix?

Suspected Cause
In my case, PowerShell is a subprocess (of Zabbix monitoring scripts) which has a timeout value of 30 seconds. After this time I believe it kills the sub-process, so I'm suspecting it isn't cleaning up properly but not 100% sure yet.
Workaround:
Added a cron job to find/delete those files and added the following file (/etc/rsyslog.d/40-powershell.conf) to stop logging which seems to work okay.
:syslogtag, contains, "powershell[" stop

This is obviously still an issue and it seems to be ignored?
CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core)
6.2.1-1.rhel.7 from packages-microsoft-com-prod
My Nagios is creating so many files and folders in /tmp that it has literally become unusable. Can't read, can't delete, can't do anything.
I could just workaround by creating a cron that empties /tmp every 5 minutes, but that really shouldn't be necessary.

I have the same problem as @mattykay.
Lowering the log level from Powershell by doing the following fixes the verbose logging:
- Find out where $PSHOME is. My $PSHOME pointed to /opt/microsoft/powershell/6/. Take note that $PSHOME is a variable in PWSH, not in any other shell.
- Create a file in $PSHOME named powershell.config.json.
- Add the following JSON to the file:
{ "LogLevel": "error" }
Other log levels are found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/microsoft.powershell.core/about/about_logging_non-windows?view=powershell-6#configuring-logging-on-non-windows-system
I haven't found a solution for the creation of "CoreFxPipe" files in /tmp yet. A cron script will do for now.
Here's another issue about the file creation: https://github.com/Microsoft/dotnet/issues/880

@Didr This works like a charm on Ubuntu 1804 with 6.2.0
Thanks

The problem with the massive amount of UUID directories and CoreFX files in /tmp still exists.
OS: CentOS Linux release 7.7.1908 (Core)
