Hello Guys,

is it normal that so much entries are logged into /var/log/syslog?;

i replaced my hostname with xxxx-xx.

I believe that i will not need that information and rather would like to disable it.

Hello,

thank you for your fast response.

There are 8 nodes in my cluster, a few more have already been added and also removed.
I don't know if it matters, but we request a lot from the proxmox apis in our cluster.

I have to admit I'm not that familiar with the C code :). But what I gather is that you can take a look into "/etc/pve/.clusterlog" to see what messages are in there. At least some "received log" entries are coming messages stored in this file.
 
Hello,

my guess that the requests to the proxmox api are the problem seems to be correct.
Am I right? If so, I am sorry for taking up your time.

cat /etc/pve/.clusterlog:
