* Large disk usage in the *log_exporter/targets* directory, with multiple directories with "darwin_dummy" suffix and repeated instances:   

  `[Expert@hostname:0]# du -h /var/opt/CPmds-R81.20/customers/dms5/CPrt-R81.20/log_exporter`  
  `

  185M ./targets/SPLUNK-audit_darwin_dummy_darwin_dummy_darwin_dummy/.../log `  
  `
  200M ./targets/SPLUNK-audit_darwin_dummy_darwin_dummy_darwin_dummy/SPLUNK-audit_darwin_dummy/SPLUNK-audit`  
  `
  400M ./targets/SPLUNK-audit_darwin_dummy_darwin_dummy_darwin_dummy/SPLUNK-audit_darwin_dummy`

  743M .targets/SPLUNK-audit_darwin_dummy_darwin_dummy_darwin_dummy`

## Cause

Large number of duplicate log entries created because of code limitation in Log Exporter running on the Management Servers.
