Logcheck devel - Feb 2005 - Bug#296449: logcheck-database: cannot make sql plugin quiet

Hi,

I reopened the bug because the sql plugin cannot be made silent. When I looked
into
mail.log I thought it is quiet, but it logs into auth.log
I tryed various combinations of log_level and sql_verbose but both did not work.
I also had a look into the postfix-users list and the german postfixbuch-users
list and both say "not possible".

So please include my patch :-)

by, Martin

It is possible, just not within the sql plugin. The reason you're seeing
those messages in auth.log is because you've configured either syslog or
syslog-ng to log messages with debug level.

Since you don't want or need to see debug messages unless there's
something actually wrong you can stop them from appearing by using the
following filter with syslog-ng:

filter f_auth { facility(auth, authpriv) and not level(debug); };

I think (I haven't used it in a while) that syslog logs debug messages
to /var/log/debug by default, so you've either modified your syslog.conf
or you're using something other than syslog.

Hi Jamie,

I hope I don't cause to much aberration. The reason why sasl is so
verbose and can't be made shut up is a bug in the sql part [1]. :-/
