[goofball222]

Unlike previously this is now something internal to the UniFi application itself, not anything controllable in the container build. It appears that the UI devs changed the application to dump all output, including debug even if it's set to off to the console if the main process is attached to anything. Guessing this happened around the same time they updated to Java 17.

If you need a "filtered" version of the log consider using server.log in the logs volume / /usr/lib/unifi/logs in the running container.

[goofball222]

I changed the functionality in the latest 8.1/beta container to tail /usr/lib/unifi/logs/server.log to the container STDOUT by default now as well.
