[Kea-users] Simplified logging?

I’m a new user so I’m sure this may already have been covered but I wasn’t able to find any info after some searching.

I’m migrating from the older dhcpd package, and I’m trying to slim down the number of things that kea puts into the log file.  I found the pattern used for logging and made minor changes that helped, but the actual messages logged seem overly verbose.

I found this article which calls out the differences in the two packages, what would usually be about 4 log lines in the other software are closer to 8 or more in kea.

I do refer to my logs regularly for troubleshooting, but the length and quantity of lines logged for each dhcp request is really going to strain my eyes.  LoL

Am I missing anything in the configuration that would reduce the amount of info logged?
