article Suppress Linux agent inetd uptmagnt connection warnings

This article adds further detail to the previous KB article that describes how to suppress agent daemon messages.

 

Use the following steps to reduce the number of messages recorded in var/log/messages files on Red Hat Linux agents:

  • Edit the uptimeagent or uptmagnt file under /etc/xinetd.d and add the following lines between the {} characters:

log_on_success -= PID
log_on_success -= EXIT
log_on_success -= HOST DURATION
log_on_failure -= HOST

  • Restart the xinetd process.

To test if the agent is still logging messages, run a tail -f on messages and then poll the Agent from the up.time UI to see if this action logs a new message.
