Hi,

 

My log is getting flooded by rpcbind message every 10s

192.168.254.228  is a proxmox server configure to mount the unraid via NFS for ISO and Backup

 

how to to setup rpcbind to be less chatty ?

Greetings,

Long time since i've posted here. 

I hope this is still a valid way of doing things but seems to be working for me in 6.8.3

You should have a file at /boot/config/rsyslog.conf

That's the base config file for rsyslog, what i often do is just drop messages entirely. Again, forgive me if i haven't stayed current, but what i do is the following. 
1. open up /boot/config/rsyslog.conf with an editor

2. find the line that reads: # limetech - everything goes to syslog.

3. underneath that line, add a log exclusion:

 

:msg,contains,"connect from 192.168.254.228 to getport" ~

 

One example I use is:

:msg,contains,"spindown" ~

 

4. if you want to do this without a reboot, you can probably add the desired entry to the active rsyslog.conf file at /etc/rsyslog.conf
5. and then you'll need to restart rsyslog via: /etc/rc.d/rc.rsyslogd restart

 

May or may not work as advertised, but i think it should? 

Hope this helps, and thank you for getting me engaged in the community again.

Del
