How to make whoopsie more silent (log clutter with "online"messages)
- by Rmano
I know what whoopsie is from the answers to What is the 'whoopsie' process and how can I remove it?
I do not want to stop error reporting, as I think that error reporting is the minimum a user should do to try to help Ubuntu. But since the upgrade to 13.10, whoopsie has grown up quite chatty. I have literally hundreds of messages like that in my logs:
SYS: Nov 4 14:40:48 samsung-romano whoopsie[1156]: online
SYS: Nov 4 14:41:56 whoopsie[1156]: last message repeated 4 times
SYS: Nov 4 14:42:56 whoopsie[1156]: last message repeated 2 times
SYS: Nov 4 14:43:56 whoopsie[1156]: last message repeated 2 times
SYS: Nov 4 14:44:56 whoopsie[1156]: last message repeated 2 times
% zgrep whoopsie /var/log/syslog*gz | wc -l
773
Is there a way to tell whoopsie to be less verbose?
(the funny output format is from SLogger, a homemade program to check system log files I wrote ages ago, but this is basically the content of /var/log/syslog file).
