Excessive logging?

Sixfab Power HAT & Software
1

Firmware 0.3.3
Software 0.3.0

Recently started using the Power HAT for a project, and I’ve noticed that the software agents are very noisy over syslog. I get roughly 5 messages a second in /var/log/syslog. I’ve tried finding the python log lines and I’ve tried changing the systemctl StandardOut and StandardError entries. I’ve not been able to get the logging to quiet down.

Any thoughts on how I can handle this?

Here’s an example of the logs:

Hi @grover.sheldon,

There are 2 ways to do this:

  1. Recommended
    Modify /opt/sixfab/pms/api/run_server.py by adding the following block of code before the conditional statement.

    import logging
log = logging.getLogger('werkzeug')
log.setLevel(logging.ERROR)

    Then restart the service to enable the changes.
    sudo systemctl restart power_request.service

  2. Add the following to the [Service] section of your service file(/etc/systemd/system/power_request.service).

    StandardOutput=null

    Then reload systemd.

    sudo systemctl daemon-reload
    sudo systemctl restart power_request.service
