[Kea-users] kea-lfc verbosity

I run logcheck, which goes trawling through logs and tosses anything
of interest into an email hourly. So every hour I get an email with a
bunch of message about the doings of kea-lfc. E.g.:

Sep 29 14:15:04 issola DhcpLFC[123729]: INFO  [DhcpLFC.140165408606144]
LFC_START Starting lease file cleanup
…
Sep 29 14:15:04 issola DhcpLFC[123729]: INFO  [DhcpLFC.140165408606144]
LFC_TERMINATE LFC finished processing

kea-lfc seem to think that its severity is set to INFO. I have
set kea-dhcp4's logging severity set to ERROR. Can I turn down
kea-lfc's severity?

Failing that, I could add some regexes to logcheck's configuration. I
fear I might miss something important, though. I could also reduce
kea-lfc's frequency.

This is kea 2.6.3 via Debian 13 (trixie).

Does anybody read signatures any more?
