10/09/2020, 7:22 PMHello. Is there a way to reduce the level of logging from 'DEBUG' to just periodically sending something out? I am getting complaints from my system admin that it is impacting other system operations on the server.

Hi @Michael J Hall - can you provide more context here? Which logs are you wanting to filter/reduce? The ones from the docker output?

10/09/2020, 8:50 PMYes, I think so. Also, does this have to run as root? I installed it that way, but now the system admin is asking if this can run outside of root as a service account with required privileges.
Here are some of the log messages: Oct 9 120504 prdserv01 journal: {"severity": "DEBUG", "name": "prefect-server.ZombieKiller", "message": "Sleeping for 120.0 seconds..."}

The only permissions
prefect server startPATHSo anything outside that can be restricted afaik
Got it, thanks @Michael J Hall. Right now there isn't a way to batch logs or reduce the log level but that sounds like a nice improvement. Would you mind opening a ticket describing what you'd like to see? In the meantime you could try redirecting output using
nohupm

And some irate SAS users 😞

That's not good. I'm a little surprised they'd be competing though, Prefect Server's db runs in its own container
Or do you mean from specific tasks that are opening connections to your db?
