CEPH-Log DBG messages - why?

[Tobbe]

Putting mon_cluster_log_level = info in [global] section of ceph.conf (and rebooting) now works in PVE 9.1 and ceph squid ( 19.2.3 )

Note: mon_cluster_log_[B]file[/B]_level is no longer valid and does not work

The pull request mentioned by Tobbe was merged to ceph squid january 2025:

thank you for this.

i gave up trying to solve this after reading comments from the devs somewhere that led me to believe that they didn't want to make it possible to turn those messages off.

finally i can get rid of the spam and perhaps see the actual interesting log messages for once.

In PVE 8.4.14 and ceph 18.2.7 I did the following:
From the shell:

ceph config set mon mon_cluster_log_level info

Before previous config setcommand, ceph config show mon.pve1 | grep mon_cluster_log_level returned:
mon_cluster_log_level info file

After the config set command above, ceph config show mon.pve1 | grep mon_cluster_log_level returned:
mon_cluster_log_level info file (mon[info])

I made sure my /etc/pve/ceph.conf contained the following two lines:
mon_cluster_log_to_file = true
mon_cluster_log_level = info

Finally, I restarted all monitors.

Now I do not see any [DBG] flooding of my ceph log.
