How to run in quiet mode while behind httpd

[edechaux]

Hello,
In PoWA documentation there is a sample configuration to run it behind an httpd server.

When using the standalone version, it is possible to use the --logging=warning to disable access logs being printed on the console. I can't find a way to do so with mod_wsgi and the default httpd errorlog get filled with unwanted data like :

[Wed Mar 25 15:56:39 2020] [error] [pid 23494] mod_wsgi.c(1631): [client [I 200325 15:56:39 web:1907] 200 GET /metrics/wait_event_by_databases/?from=2020-03-25+14%3A56%3A39%2B0100&to=2020-03-25+15%3A56%3A39%2B0100 (128.96.81.85) 40.10ms

What can I do ?

Thanks

Sorry I'm not really familiar with mod_wsgi. I think that what you can do is modify powa.wsgi, and add (probably anywhere would be ok as long as it's reached)

tornado.log.access_log.setLevel(logging.WARNING)

Yes it works but require to import logging for logging.WARNING definition.

Oh right, this is an option setup by tornado so it's actually configurable there! I'll add some documentation about it, probably other users will be glad to know that.

Ah indeed, I missed that (I was testing using another script since I don't have an httpd server setup right now).
