• Log Level SBBS

    From Rmh@1:103/705 to All on Sun Jun 10 18:37:50 2018
    People,

    Any idea how to supress the logs for SBBS or just to get something purely informational?

    In the sbbs.ini I got:

    LogLevel=Informational

    But to me it's still too verbose ..

    Many thanks!!

    Informational is one step down from debugging. Try one of these..

    Emergency, Alert, Critical, Error, Warning, Notice, Informational, Debugging.

    Each of those steps is more detailed.

    I haven't tried this myself, I got those examples from sbbs.ini so they may or may not work with SBBSecho. :)

    Ttyl :-),

    You can reduce the level even more, bring it down to "Notice" if you like. But it'd probably better to identify what specifically you think is too verbose (e.g. which server/service/module) and see if you can fine-tune the log-level of just that element which is bothering you. More information about what log lines you find too verbose would be helpful,

    With too verbose I mean the more sensitive details about users/login details..

    Probably I would mean, being more specific,, any verbosity related to the Login Module.

    I have been testing with Notice (for example) and it supresses nearly everything).

    I am trying to be careful with the logs and whenever I am not testing/changing/implementing something new , to do a bit of hardening around .

    Apologies for the lack of clarity on my initial post.

    I have been trying a bit around and it goes from detailed to not much too show..
    I wasn't too sure the modules it touches.


    I haven't tried this myself, I got those examples from sbbs.ini so they may or may not work with SBBSecho. :)

    SBBSecho got it's own verbosity detailed level as it works as an independent application. the SBBS.ini just works for the main application ..

    Trying to do a tiny bit of hardening as I got the internet trying to take tbe place by assault (like anyone else..)

    I have activate the WebSite/FTP/eMail and it suddently got so busy! --->RainManHood<---

    Well make sure you have SCFG->System->Toggle Options->Display/Log Passwords Locally to "No" then.

    Probably I would mean, being more specific,, any verbosity related to the Login Module.

    So.. just for the terminal server?

    aha!! I wasn't sure about the meaning of that!! thanks

    Yes and ssh server primarily
