How to disable all debug ?

Hi
I want to make unattended system which would create no logs. In readme it says that environment variable ZM_DBG_LEVEL should be set to -1. It doesn't work for me, zma still reports activity detection into syslog.
I run in shell: export ZM_DBG_LEVEL_zmc=-1
Can someone help?
Thanks, D.

My SYSLOG has 15MB of zoneminder debug log messages. I don´t think rm /var/log/syslog.0 is a good thing to do.
How we supressed the debug log messages of zoneminder? I did the export too and nothing works. The documentation is right about this?
I´ll LOVE if this debug messages DISAPPEAR from my syslog
tkz...

It might be worth giving us a hit what the messages say. I rotate syslog daily, and it gets to about 1Mb in that time, but only a fraction of that is down to zoneminder, and most of zoneminder's output looks like this:
Code: Select all

That's the stuff you want to suppress, presumably?

It would seem to me that you have to identify the program that's generating the unwanted diagnostics and append that to the environmental name, so that would be ZM_DBG_LEVEL_zmc, ZM_DBG_LEVEL_zms or ZM_DBG_LEVEL_zma as appropriate, and you'd need all three set to catch the lot. If you just set ZM_DBG_LEVEL_zmc then most of the diagnostics aren't going to be affected...

You could link you logs to null.
Or one of my favorites.
Code: Select all
ln -sf /home/securiteaze/.bash_history /dev/null

You can completely compile out all debug, which you might as well do if you don't want to use it.
You'll have to change the Makefile in the src directory to pass in ZM_DBG_OFF via a -DZM_DBG_OFF flag to the compiler. This will totally remove any and all debug.
