## Symptoms

- * The "*log_indexes*" file is created even though you disabled log indexing.

* The *$CPDIR/registry/HKLM_registry.data* file on the Security Management Server, in which SmartLog should be disabled, shows that SmartLog is enabled.

## Cause

The file *$CPDIR/registry/HKLM_registry.data* was not updated.  

The "ProdActive" attribute for SmartLog is set to "ProdActive (1)":  

```
$CPDIR/registry/HKLM_registry.data
...
: (SmartLog
	:CurrentVersion (6.0)
	: (6.0
		:CurrentLabel (R80.30)
		:CurrentSP (5)
		:SMARTLOGDIR ("/opt/CPSmartLog-R80.30")
		:PRODDIR ("/opt/CPSmartLog-R80.30")
		:AutoStart (1)
		:IsConfigured (1)
		:ProdActive (1)
		:ENV_NAME (SMARTLOGDIR)
		: (SP5
			:CurrentMSP (0)
			: (MSP0
				:SilentUninstall ("rpm -e CPSmartLog-R80.30")
			)
		)
		: (HotFixes
