Issue

  • Is there a way where we can filter logs from a service, that is running as a systemd service, from reaching journald?
  • We have a service that is flooding journald with messages, and we cannot lower the application journaling rate.
  • The service is triggering certain warning lights because its writing too many messages into journald.
