Hello,

I'd like to disable the [DBG] loglevel in Mahara. I tried those in the config.php :

$cfg->productionmode = true;
$cfg->developermode = false;
$cfg->log_backtrace_levels = LOG_LEVEL_WARN

I still have DBG messages in my php-fpm log file. For instance on each login :

[22-Nov-2024 11:10:46 Europe/Paris] [DBG] 00 (auth/saml/lib.php:562) remote user 'seclier5' is now reanimated as 'seclier5'

My Mahara version is 24.04.7. Did I missed something ? 
Thanks for your help.

Cheers,

Hi Benjamin,

Logging consists of a message and backtrace, so the

log_backtrace_levels

is for the backtrace part

The message part is based on the  $cfg->log_*_levels setting where the * is the log type so for debug messages it is 'log_dbg_targets'.

The default for this setting is:

$cfg->log_dbg_targets     = LOG_TARGET_ERRORLOG;

So to stop the debug messages appearing in the error log we can set the value to a non-handled bitwise value.

$cfg->log_dbg_targets = 32;

Though it can be useful to have debugging messages to be logged especially for login issues from external systems.

Cheers

Hello Robert,

Thank you for your answer, it works well !

I agree with you, this kind of message can be useful, but debugging messages are not for production, I leave them on my test instance only.

Cheers,
