Verbosity with -syslog enabled

[lra]

Hi,

When I run my consuls with -syslog, I get those in the logs:

If I remove -syslog from the command line of one, and restart it, I don't get those lines in the log files.

Is there a way I can turn those down with -syslog enabled?

Thanks!

FTR changing the -log-level option to warn does not change this behavior.

I'll have to look into it more, but I think we pull out the log level and pass it to syslog. I think info and above goes through.

IMO it should be possible to use the --log-level flag to suppress output below a certain level even if --syslog is set. The current behavior results in a lot of extra log data if syslog is employed.

I've confirmed that we are not filtering the logs going to syslog, so I'm labeling this as a bug. It should respect -log-level with -syslog
