Influxd: disable output to syslog

[voidzero]

Right now monitoring my pironman5 with 'journalctl -af' shows non-error messages from the influxd web dashboard every second on idle, and all the traffic if a user visits the dashboard.

Is it possible to disable the output to syslog? It'll grow quite quickly otherwise, that's not really optimal.

Hi @voidzero,

I found the solution in the article below. You just need to uncomment line log-enabled = true in the config file and change the value to false. After this, you need to restart the service using command sudo systemctl restart influxdb.
