Prevent pgbouncer from logging to syslog on Centos 7

Stock installation of pgbouncer on centos 7. It logs connections/stats/etc to both /var/log/messages as well as /var/log/pgbouncer/pgbouncer.log. How do I stop it from logging to /var/log/messages?

Solution

  • You can create a blocklist for syslog

    it might be on a location like /etc/rsyslog.d/01-blocklist.conf

    just add something like

    :msg,contains,"whatever pgbouncer is doing" ~

    The ~ operator means it will discard the message

    you can also use regex just check the docs:
