Im getting a lot of:

Code:
Dec 04 20:32:09 pve pveproxy[2584811]: worker exit
Dec 04 20:32:09 pve pveproxy[2477]: worker 2584811 finished
Dec 04 20:32:09 pve pveproxy[2477]: starting 1 worker(s)
Dec 04 20:32:09 pve pveproxy[2477]: worker 2615437 started
Dec 04 20:32:44 pve pvedaemon[2517694]: worker exit
Dec 04 20:32:44 pve pvedaemon[2466]: worker 2517694 finished
Dec 04 20:32:44 pve pvedaemon[2466]: starting 1 worker(s)
Dec 04 20:32:44 pve pvedaemon[2466]: worker 2616027 started
Dec 04 20:36:41 pve pveproxy[2576396]: worker exit
Dec 04 20:36:42 pve pveproxy[2477]: worker 2576396 finished
Dec 04 20:36:42 pve pveproxy[2477]: starting 1 worker(s)
Dec 04 20:36:42 pve pveproxy[2477]: worker 2619754 started
Dec 04 20:37:48 pve pvedaemon[2531585]: worker exit
Dec 04 20:37:48 pve pvedaemon[2466]: worker 2531585 finished
Dec 04 20:37:48 pve pvedaemon[2466]: starting 1 worker(s)
Dec 04 20:37:48 pve pvedaemon[2466]: worker 2620759 started


All these entries floods the syslogs and makes it impossible to keep a good overview. What are these and how do i minimize them getting triggerd,

Best Regards,

Those are informational messages from the pveproxy and pvedaemon.
Whenever a worker process is finished, it terminates and a new worker process is spawned.

This logging cannot be configured/minimized.
 
Search the forums. I've read a thread some months ago where someone edited some of the linux or pve files to block them.
 
how can i get what is this workers ?

I am not sure what you are after, but it's an innocuous log message [1] whenever services have a worker [2] come and go [3ab].

If you are concerned about info messages, read the logs with proper filters [4]:

Code:
journalctl -b -p 4
