Is there any way to ignore a logging action. Specifically I’ve got billing software that logs into routerboards every 5 minutes via the API and SSH. Bit of pain having to trawl through the log file to see “real” errors.
Install any external Syslog server and redirect messages to it. Syslog server (eg. syslog-ng ) lets you to filter incoming data and split it into different files for easy monitoring.
You could disable the info rule at /system logging. Info is just info and nothing critical.
This way you will loose some other info messages (like ether port up/down or rule changed). If you need some of the info message you could add a separate Topic for this (e.g. interface for if up/down). But you will have no possibility at the default log to readd “rule changed” entries as they only have topics system and info.
Ok, I’ll try the latter. I was trying it the other way by adding a specific topic and disabling it but of course it just ignored the disabled rule …doh!
Seems to be working for me. Thanks guys.
/system logging
set 0 disabled=yes
add topics=interface
add topics=dhcp
add topics=firewall
add topics=route
