svn-1545 is chatty with syslog

[Gonzo]

Hi,

first of all, congratulations to the svn-1545 release and to making it into the center of Roku attention!

I just upgraded from 1340 to 1545. But mt-daapd is quite chatty: Even though I have configured a logfile in mt-daapd.conf (and mt-daapd happily writes to that too), it keeps logging a lot of other stuff to syslog at daemon.alert levels. IMHO, this is a bit exaggerated:

Apr 19 22:52:20 condorito mt-daapd[11377]: [ID 702911 daemon.alert] Plugin loaded: rsp/svn-1545
Apr 19 22:52:20 condorito mt-daapd[11377]: [ID 702911 daemon.alert] Plugin loaded: daap/svn-1545

Apr 19 22:52:21 condorito mt-daapd[11379]: [ID 702911 daemon.alert] Initializing database
Apr 19 22:52:21 condorito mt-daapd[11379]: [ID 702911 daemon.alert] Full reload…
Apr 19 22:52:22 condorito mt-daapd[11379]: [ID 702911 daemon.alert] Starting mp3 scan

Is that a bug? Or did I overlook something in the config?

Best regards,
Constantin

Some of that really is chattier than it should be. I’ll have to look at what goes into the syslog right now. I know the windows event log I already tuned down a bit, I may need to do it again.

Hi Ron,

thanks! The easiest way is probably to tune the severity levels. The stuff I see should probably be daemon.info for the “I’m now doing x” stuff and maybe daemon.notice for special actions like “upgrading db”.

Have a nice weekend,
Constantin

Not sure how I’m mapping the warning levels. But that sounds like a reasonable level. I’m not sure I *ever* want debug quantities going into syslog, only to logfile, so I need to separate what goes into syslog, what goes into logfile, and what goes into both, and at what level.
