Hi, I've noticed that transmission-daemon (torrent downloader) is rather
verbose.
Example 1: this line appears approx every 2 minutes whilst the torrent
downloads (differing only by timestamp):
--
Aug 4 14:39:28 falcon transmission-daemon[2685]: Saved
/var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/resume/debian-505-amd64-businesscard.iso.a437cd5c17cc853d.resume
(bencode.c:1651)
--
And this appears every 2 minutes regardless.
--
Aug 4 14:39:28 falcon transmission-daemon[2685]: Saved
/var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/stats.json (bencode.c:1651)
--
similarly, there the following pairs appear regularly from the time the
torrent begins downloading, and continues all the time it is seeding.
These logs are in pairs, and for my observation, 4 lines per hour is
pretty constant.

debian-505-amd64-businesscard.iso DHT announce done (tr-dht.c:637)

The following is my ignore.d.server/transmission-daemon file.
Two lines - the first filters the first two examples, the second filters
the second pair.
--
^\w{3} [ :[:digit:]]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ transmission-daemon\[[[:digit:]]+\]:
Saved /var/lib/transmission-daemon/info/.* \(bencode.c:1651\)$
^\w{3} [ :0-9]{11} [._[:alnum:]-]+ transmission-daemon\[[0-9]+\]: .* DHT
announce .*\(tr-dht.c:(669|637)\)$
--
The effectiveness of these rules can be seen from:
falcon:/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server# grep transmission-daemon
/var/log/syslog.0 | wc -l
2446
falcon:/etc/logcheck/ignore.d.server# grep transmission-daemon
/var/log/syslog.0 | egrep -v -f transmission-daemon | wc -l
131
