System log - ignore messages
-
Is it possible to ignore specific messages being logged?
-
Not really. The Settings page allows you to not log some events. A better solution for you might be to log everything to an external syslog server and then filter from there.

What's being logged that you want to ignore?

The error messages from this thread, although I made a patch as a bandaid fix:

Think the advanced log filtering in 2.3 will allow that to be filtered out (excluded).

Something like this should allow search to be inverted by preceding the search term with an exclamation point as the first character.
That way it can be used for anything rather than a hard coded string.

Thanks, I'll add that one too.
