Hi David,
You can direct all dnsmasq logging to another file with...
--
log-facility=/path/to/file
--
or remain in blissful ignorance with
--
log-facility=/dev/null
--
Add that line by editing dnsmasq.static (Network tab -> Advanced Configuration:
{ Edit DNSMasq Static } )
Note, from the DNSMasq docs: "Errors whilst reading configuration will still go
to syslog, but all output from a successful startup, and all output whilst
running, will go exclusively to the file."
I don't see a way to reduce the chattiness.
