[Request] Do not display daemon events in Diagnostics > Log-System

[uniss]

Add in 'Diagnostics > Settings' the checked option "Do not display daemon events in 'Diagnostics > Log-System'"
because there is a separate filter 'Diagnostics > Log-Daemons'.
I have 1160 messages from 1210 like this:
"Tracker error:" Tracker gave HTTP response code 0 (No Response) "(torrent.c: 581)"
and the system log becomes completely useless.

To stop transmission-daemon logging into syslog, redirect the log to a different location.
Add transmission_flags to System > Advanced > rc.conf

system_rcconf_edit.png

and restart the service.
Man pages for transmission-daemon can be found here

As I understand it, when redirecting a logging transmission records will disappear and from 'Log-System', and from 'Log-Daemons'.
So I wrote "Do not display...'" instead of "Stop logging...".
If a section 'Daemons' is present, why are its entries displayed in the 'System'?

This is how the system has been configured. In general,
- all message having the faciility 'daemon' are logged in the daemon log.
- all messages having a severity level of 'notice' or higher are logged in the system.log.

Examples:
- A message with facility 'daemon' and 'warning' level will be logged in both logs,
- A message with facility 'daemon' and 'info' level will be logged only in the daemon log.

syslog.conf is the configuration file for the syslogd service which transmission uses by default.
The configuration file can be found under /var/etc/syslog.conf and is by default:

Code: Select all

xigmanas: ~# cat /var/etc/syslog.conf
local3.* %/var/log/sshd.log
local4.* %/var/log/rsyncd.log
local5.* %/var/log/smartd.log
ftp.* %/var/log/ftp.log
daemon.* %/var/log/daemon.log
*.notice;authpriv.none;kern.debug;lpr.info;mail.crit;mail.info;news.err;local0.none;local7.none %/var/log/system.log
security.* %/var/log/system.log
auth.info;authpriv.info %/var/log/system.log
*.emerg *

the script creating the above configuration file is /etc/rc.d/syslogd and additional logging can be configured in the WebGUI under System > Advanced > syslog.conf.
