Description

Currently there is no way via the package config GUI to disable messages getting written to the /var/log/system.log. This results in a high frequency of LCDd messages filling up the log

There is a setting in the /usr/local/etc/LCDd.conf file that can be manually changed, but the file gets overwritten if you save the LCDPROC package settings again or restart the LCDPROC daemon

ReportToSyslog=no

Another options might be to allow changing the log level

ReportLevel=3

ReportLevel = LEVEL
Sets the reporting level. Legal values for LEVEL range from 0 (only critical errors) to 5 (everything including debugging information). If not specified it defaults to 2 (warnings and errors only).

This setting can be overridden on LCDd's command line using the -r LEVEL option.

ReportToSyslog = { yes | no }
Should we report to syslog (yes) instead of stderr (no)? Default value is no.

This setting can be overridden on LCDd's command line using the -s NUMBER option. Passing -s 1 on the command line enables reporting to syslog while -s 0 disables it.

Worth noting that the old hardcoded default was level 3. When I added the option I made the new default level 2 to align with the LCDProc default. When set to level 2, I do not see the "output states changes" error that I saw before.

So for those experiencing the problem before, the errors should be gone on upgrade without any manual intervention. If the messages do come back, feel free to select a lower log level (1 or 0) or disable it entirely.

Tested the package version:

0.11.5_1

It looks good. The default Log Level value is 2

cat /usr/local/etc/LCDd.conf | grep ReportLevel

ReportLevel=2

And it can be changed in the Log Level dropdown menu.

I am marking this ticket resolved.
