RUT956: Set specific log-level for a service

Networking Solutions Question

Hi, @gmsmp ,

Thanks for reaching out and apologies for a delayed response. To help investigate this properly, could you clarify a few points:

  1. Which specific service/daemon are you referring to? (e.g. process name as it appears in logread, such as port_eventsd, openvpn, dropbear, mwan3, etc.) This makes a difference — some daemons have their own independent verbosity/debug options separate from the system log level, so the answer may vary by service.
  2. What are you trying to achieve - do you want that service to log less than the global level (e.g. suppress noisy entries from it while keeping notice elsewhere), or more (e.g. get debug-level detail from just that one service without raising the global level for everything else)?
  3. Is this tied to troubleshooting a specific problem with that service, or is it a general logging/monitoring preference? Context on what you’re trying to diagnose would help us point you to the right approach.
  4. How are you currently viewing the logs - WebUI (System → Maintenance → Events Log / System Log), CLI via logread, or a remote syslog server?
  5. Can you confirm whether you’re still on 07.22.3, or able to test on a newer firmware version if needed?

Once we know the specific service and goal, we can confirm whether it’s configurable and how.

Best regards,
V.
