CA Service Management

We have an application that interfaces with SDM using web services session. Everytime a session is opened and closed we get a log entry in the stdlog. We get quite a number of these daily and so I was thinking of suppressing them or piping them into another file. Any advice/help would be appreciated

Hi Suki,

At this time there I dont believe there is a way to suppress those messages in the logs. Most customers will find them useful for tracking, and from a support standpoint, we use them for troubleshooting purposes.  For something like this, you can certainly put an idea out here on the communities to see if other folks vote for it, and then it would be reviewed by product management.

Thanks,

Jon I.

I would definitely vote for it!  The web services sessions constantly opening and closing really do make looking for things more difficult.

Hello Suki,

Jon is right - please log an Idea and cross-link to this thread so that we may vote on it.

Our SE team have advised that they are open to the idea of raising/lowering the level of messages, such as changing a "SIGNIFICANT" message to a "TRACE" message. That way, it is still available if anyone needs it.

A more significant change would be to add an option to suppress/enable a log level.

HOWEVER, as a Workaround, if you are just interested in not seeing those messages, then just use a text editor that allows you to suppress those lines.

Notepad++ is good. I've written about it before.

Here's a link on how you can use it to suppress lines:

notepad++ - Regex: Remove lines containing - Stack Overflow

And I've given the example here of removing all "SIGNIFICANT" lines with this example:

• .*SIGNIFICANT.*\r?\n

Just replace it with your web session or whatever else you wish to exclude.
