Hello,
I get lots of these messages in the log:
dovecot: imap-login: Login: user@1.2.3.4, TLSv1.3 with .. dovecot: imap(user)<10889><glzsCIi6AMbUGQtL>: Disconnected for inactivity ... dovecot: imap(user)<10887><vzjQB4i6/MXUGQtL>: Logged out ...
when user clicks on folder in Thunderbird, or sometimes even when the Thunderbird window is in focus (without clicking anything).
Anyway, how can I suppress these info messages, while keeping the important ones, such as auth problems?
I am using Dovecot v2.3.4.1 with 10-logging.conf with default values. I see there is this line:
# Log unsuccessful authentication attempts and the reasons why they failed. auth_verbose = yes
I definitely want to keep logging unsuccessful auth, but how can I suppress the verbose rest?
and lastly, can these settings be set per-user?
Can I suppress verbose for user 'bob' but keep for others?
grep -v ?
Seriously, whether you view logs in a web application or at the commandline, having a way to filter them is essential. And if you have common filters, being able to to pre-program them is useful. Once in a blue moon, it's maybe useful to know something about how a user is getting on or a problem s/he's having.
