      @areckethennu said in GUI services in the system log are filled with nginx messages:

      I've kept this log activated. I just filtered it on "newsyslog" for the process. Over the last 2 days, my default (500k) sized logs have "turned over" 10 times:

      In all my other logs, I've got two of them where they've turned over twice (each).

      That answer to keeping these out of syslog is to go to System Logs > Setting, and then uncheck "Everything" at the bottom in the section called "Remote Syslog Contents". You can check everything else, but having Everything checked drops all the GUI to syslog.

      Seems there should be a checkbox for GUI service.

        @troysjanda Did you ever figure out how to implement this? I don't need every page load logged, but logging errors would be useful.

          @GPz1100 this is an old thread. Consider creating a new post.

          Regards.

            I just disabled it and it made the problem go away. I unfortunately can't provide much other info as I moved to OPNsense right after Netgate kindly revoked my "Lifetime" license they granted me 10 months earlier as a home user.... OPN is better supported IMO, open source, and not driven by greed. :)

              @madfuzker Understood. I disabled it too as it seems the log content isn't very useful unless there's a problem.

              As for the license changes; well, that's a topic for another thread :). I passed on opn for other reasons.

              @VioletDragon So what if it's an old thread. The concern was never adequately addressed. A welcomed solution would be to have a loglevel option in the gui. Want everything, no problem, want errors only, we can do that too.

                I assume this does not survive updates and has to be edited each time?

                Or has gui log level been added to a gui setting to be managed (set different log level or disable entire)?

                  That is correct!

                  No, not in 2.7.2 and not in 24.11
