debug syslog spamming

[n1md4]

Syslog is getting spammed with this:-

Jan 29 13:30:26 ***** zms[24068]: INF [Debug Level = 0, Debug Log = <none>]

How can I switch this part of logging off? I noticed the Options -> Debug tab on the webpage, but none of the options are ticked.

Thanks,
n1md4

You can either recompile zms with the default debug level to be -1 or less (look for DbgInit) or you can redirect this kind of message as detailed in the Logging section of the main documentation on the Wiki.

I'm placing this here so that others may find it with a search. I read that as of Ubuntu 9.10, sysklogd has been replaced with rsyslog. The configuration file for the local1 facility edits changed from /etc/syslog.conf to /etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf. Make the edits outlined in the Wiki as needed (to disable all logging, or info only leaving warnings, etc.)

Then issue "service rsyslog restart"

and the messages to /var/log/message and /var/log/syslog will stop.

thx Haus, yer exactly right for Ubuntu 9.10

In 50-default.conf add the line

local1.* /var/log/zm/zm.log

and edit these lines with the local1.!* inclusion

*.*;auth,authpriv.none;local1.!* -/var/log/syslog

*.=info;local1.!*;*.=notice;*.=warn;\
auth,authpriv.none;\
cron,daemon.none;\
mail,news.none -/var/log/messages
