How do I stop logging of DNS queries in /var/log/messages ?
CLI Version: 1.37.7
Platform: mipsle (Ubiquiti EdgeRouter X)
I'm using nextdns with dnsmasq on my Edgerouter X.
Here is my nextdns.conf:
auto-activate false
control /var/run/nextdns.sock
config xxxxxx
max-ttl 0s
report-client-info false
max-inflight-requests 256
discovery-dns
mdns disabled
hardened-privacy false
setup-router false
listen 127.0.0.1:53053
cache-size 0
cache-max-age 0s
detect-captive-portals false
bogus-priv true
log-queries false
use-hosts false
timeout 5s
dnsmasq is set up more or less like this (some irrelevant parts removed):
dns {
forwarding {
cache-size 1000
listen-on switch0.10
listen-on switch0.20
options no-resolv
options query-port=53054
options server=127.0.0.1#53053
options bogus-priv
options domain-needed
options stop-dns-rebind
}
}
Question: How can I stop /var/log/messages filling up with lines like this:
ubnt@ubnt:~$ tail /var/log/messages

The connection logs cannot be shut off unfortunately. You'll see them logged every few minutes when the CLI establishes a connection, so they're not per-query but still pretty darn common. There have been some other posts and bugs filed about being able to shut this off but as of now I don't think that feature's been implemented. Here's one of the bugs, idle since Feb.

Looks like it'll take a few weeks before /var/log/messages gets too big and my router crashes.
Software really shouldn't be filling /var/log/messages with high volume useless rubbish like this.
