I'm running syslog-ng OSE on Ubuntu 24.04, using the official syslog-ng.com repo. I'm feeding logs to the OpenObserve HTTP destination.
destination d_openobserve_http {
openobserve-log(
url("https://REDACTED")
port(443)
organization("default")
stream("syslog-ng")
user("REDACTED")
password("REDACTED")
);
};
log {
source(s_src);
destination(d_openobserve_http);
flags(flow-control);
};
Since a recent update, probably syslog-ng 4.8.2, syslog-ng has started spamming the system log with many lines of debug info for every HTTP call to openobserve

I've gone over the configuration and I can't find anything that would cause this to suddenly change.
syslog-ng is not running in "verbose" or "debug" mode, according to syslog-ng-ctl.
How do I make it stop logging this info?
