render_list verbosity

[pnorman]

render_list has no options to control the verbosity, but always outputs debug options. An option to only display the results or to display no output except errors would be helpful.

After eight years this still looks to be an issue. Can I resurrect this request? I'm using render_list and /var/log/syslog got to 60GB before I noticed that it filled my root partition and I turned on log rotations. As a temp fix, it's fine, but long term that burns through the write endurance on an SSD. It should not output DEBUG messages by default and logging should be tunable.

EDIT: found another issue that was closed that said you can modify verbosity in the syslog config (should not require system-wide setting to tune the output of renderd, though). This should still be adjustable for just mod_tile/renderd.

/etc/rsyslog.d/50-default.conf change *.* to *.warn

Which version of mod_tile are you running?

I believe it is whatever is bundled in this package?

libapache2-mod-tile/hirsute,now 0.5-2build1 amd64

Significant improvements went into this after this version. So with 0.6.x it should have improved. But leaving this open in order to confirm.

I don't plan on updating unless Ubuntu updates the package in my current version. Turning rsyslog to "warn" does address my issue of my drive filling up (and stops burning through drive endurance on my SSD) but if there's a way to actually tune renderd debug logging directly even in the new version I couldn't find the documentation for it. If that option exists, link to it and you can probably close this issue. If not (even if renderd/mod_tile logging is "better" in the new version) it seems like a direct option within the configs for them should probably exist?
