Thanks for pointing it out. I tried setting OVS_CTL_OPTS='--ovsdb-server-options="-vsyslog:warn -vfile:off" --ovs- vswitchd-options="-vsyslog:warn -vfile:off"' and that works. So it is possible to configure the log level. What was lacking was the documentation. Are these options documented somewhere? I haven't found them. In case they are documented, can /etc/default/openvswitch-switch mention the location of those (e.g. add "see man page of XXXXXXX")? > Open vSwitch works pretty hard to not spam log files, so I'd > encourage > you to report whatever excessive logging you're seeing to upstream. That log spamming was already reported upstream by someone else: https://github.com/openvswitch/ovs-issues/issues/135 -- Benjamin Drung Senior DevOps Engineer and Debian & Ubuntu Developer Compute Platform Operations 1&1 IONOS SE | Greifswalder Str. 207 | 10405 Berlin | Deutschland E-Mail: benjamin.dr...@ionos.com | Web: www.ionos.de Hauptsitz Montabaur, Amtsgericht Montabaur, HRB 24498 Vorstand: Hüseyin Dogan, Dr. Martin Endreß, Claudia Frese, Henning Kettler, Arthur Mai, Matthias Steinberg, Achim Weiß Aufsichtsratsvorsitzender: Markus Kadelke Member of United Internet
