I disagree. We want to have historical data for our sites so we can identify performance degradations. We have had antennas whose alignment has deteriorated over time, e.g. due to wind, snow load or unstable mounting, and we have had antennas that have deteriorated due to water ingress. We can only detect all of this with continuous monitoring. |

Thats a misunderstabding. Collectd should still log the snmp-data, but not the errors to logd locally on the device |

Got it! Yes, that's what we want. |

When collectd wants to get the Names of Stations via snmp connnected to a device running AirOS 6 that have none connected it reports a "NoSuchName" error to logd resulting in a lots of logspamming. At chris-core it was 60 per minute. This Script will change the option "procd_set_param stderr 1" to "0" in the file /etc/init.d/collectd to deactivate logging of all errors. The monitoring will still work. I prefer not having logs over logspamming as the logfiles will get useless otherwise. It is still possible to change this option back to 1 until next boot to get a better insight when debugging collectd-issues. This fixes #766

When a AirOS 6 AP has no Stations connected a snmp-call asking for their names results in a
NoSuchNameerror for each parameter. That means a lot of log spamming. As we only need collectd logging when we debug it i would suggest adding a script at rc.local deactivating logging after boot.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
