How Ubuntu server prevents SNMPD from logging to Syslog

The company is using Ubuntu server, with cacti to do the monitoring, through the SNMPD protocol monitoring, but when looking at the system log, SNMPD generated a lot of logs, sometimes to turn a lot of screen, to see system information, this to every day to see the System log Administrator, It was a nightmare. The following methods allow you to turn off SNMPD to the system log file so that the system log looks much simpler.

root@ubuntu:~#  vim/etc/default/snmp 
     
# This file controls the activity of SNMPD and SNMPTRAPD 
     
# Don ' t load any MIBs by default. 
# You might comment this lines once you have the MIBs downloaded. 
Export mibs= 
     
# SNMPD control (yes means start daemon). 
Snmpdrun=yes 
     
# SNMPD options (use Syslog, close stdin/out/err). 
#SNMPDOPTS = '-lsd-lf/dev/null-u snmp-g snmp-i-smux-p/var/run/snmpd.pid '  //commented out, change to the following 
snmpdopts= '-ls2d-l F/dev/null-p/var/run/snmpd.pid-a '

After the completion of the command to restart the SNMPD service, so look at the system log, it is much more refreshing.

#/ETC/INIT.D/SNMPD Restart//Restart service

SNMPD the definition of log level:

0 or! --Log_emerg, 
1 or a--Log_alert, 
2 or c--Log_crit, 3 or e--log_err, 
4 or w--log_warning, 
5 or n-- Log_notice, 
6 or i--log_info, and 
7 or d--log_debug.
