perfSONAR User Q&A and Other Discussion

[Aaron Brown <>]

Hey Andreas,

I can’t say I’ve seen debug logs get nearly as big as the ones you’ve got :) 
Since this was the first release with regular testing, we left it in debug 
mode so that we could have accurate logs if folks ran into issues. The plan 
is to turn off debug mode with the next major release. In the interim, you 
can edit /opt/perfsonar_ps/regular_testing/etc/regular_testing-logger.conf, 
and change the DEBUG to WARN, and then do “/etc/init.d/regular_testing 
restart”, and it’ll cut down to just warnings.

Cheers,
Aaron
