Hi,
i found out that the mon writes a lot of messages to the
var/log/messages file during monitoring.
How can i stop this?? It fills out my harddisk!
Thank you!
By reading the documentation for mon and syslog, and picking a
configuration which suits your needs. By default mon logs to the 'daemon'
syslog facility, and logs various messages at the debug, info, notice,
alert, err, and crit syslog levels. I suspect you're logging daemon.info
and higher messages to your messages file. Either log only higher level
messages, or change mon to log to a facility you don't output to disk.
Alternatively, use any of the miriad systems available that perform logfile
rotation, so you don't keep your syslogs forever.
If you *really* want no syslog output at all, modify the code to add that
feature as an option and send us a patch.
