[OpenSIPS-Users] turn off syslog logging with OpenSIPS 3.2 ?

[Kingsley Tart]

Hi,

Thanks. I presume from your answer that OpenSIPS will always talk to
syslog regardless of what logging settings I configure within OpenSIPS.
Did I read that right?

If that's the case, I'm probably better off not telling OpenSIPS to log
to a local file itself and split it out within syslog's config. I
expect that would be more efficient than OpenSIPS writing the log to
two places and then have one of those places (syslog) ignore what it's
being given.

There's stuff I need to learn about how to configure syslog but at
least your answer has given me some pointers, thanks.

Cheers,
Kingsley.
