It sounds as though your log rolling has been broken somehow.

You probably don't want to delete the files, but you can 
force it to start a new log, and change when the logs rotate 
(by Date/Size/Number of entries) in the Event Processor.


I would recommend subscribing to the Watchguard mailing list as
well. See below for info:
