Lower or disable talpa-cache system logging?

Hi Jason Peery 

Would you please suggest the Sophos product which you are using and the issue happening with it?

I'm not overly familiar with Sophos, but it appears we're running sav-protect av deamon and sav-rms the management agent (from systemd service).  From savdctl version:
/opt/sophos-av/bin/savdctl version
savdctl version 1.0

and from savdstatus:

/opt/sophos-av/bin/savdstatus --version --verbose

These run on CentOS7 instances.

Thanks

Hi Jason Peery 

Would you able to see the issue with Sophos because of this logs or have you found any excessive logs of Talpa in any of the Sophos logs?

I don't understand your question, but the issue I am having is these entries are filling up system logs and consuming the filesystem, additionally it makes searching system logs for other issues difficult to find or time consuming weeding through all the repetitive talpa messages.  There's no use for these, would like to turn it off or limit or change the log level some way.

Thanks

Hi Jason Peery 

I meant that if this is something issue with Sophos products, then we'll be able to help you but if it is a specific issue with the Operating system logs, I am not an SME in the Linux Operating System.

The issue is with Sophos, in this case what the log level is set to which writes talpa-cache entries to the system log.  I am trying to find out in which Sophos config is that log level set or disabled, and what the setting needs to be changed to.  Typically for other applications for example there is debug, info, warning, none, etc.  Where is that being set and what can I change it to or how do I disable.  OR, is it possible to configure Sophos to send these messages to a different log file and not use the system log?
