sw-probe reducing syslog messages

Dear All, I am running the package ripe-atlas 1.5-3 on Debian 12 bookworm with probe id 1010735. Is there a way to reduce the syslog messages for really necessary events like errors ? Kind regards Hans --

We plan to introduce a reduced log level in a future release. In particular, we'll start by looking at 'perd' log messages, which are the most frequent. The '/home/atlas' file paths mentioned in the log messages can safely be ignored, they're sent by the controller to support older probe versions (pre-FHS/before 5090), but modified within the relevant applets to the current paths in modern versions. There is an open issue on our GitHub repository regarding this, which also includes a user-provided hotfix for 'condmv' and 'httppost' lines: https://github.com/RIPE-NCC/ripe-atlas-software-probe/issues/96 By the way, 1.5-3 is the version of 'ripe-atlas-repo', which purely provides the APT repository for RIPE Atlas packages. Meanwhile, 'ripe-atlas-common' are the essential components, while 'ripe-atlas-probe' are probe-specific files and configuration. I hope I was able to answer your question and give some context. The GitHub issue will be updated as progress is being made. Regards Trix Taiclet RIPE NCC // Embedded Systems Engineer
