Orbi Pro SXR30 filling up RSYSLOG log files
Hi all,
I've configured rsyslog on Debian 11 to receive logs from my brand new SXR30. The destination file is /etc/log/router.log
It works well however since I enabled syslog it also fills up /etc/syslog, /etc/user.log and /etc/messages on my Debian server with the entries below EVERY TWO SECONDS.
Note: 192.168.1.250 is the satellite and 192.168.1.1 is the router.
Any idea about how to stop this behavior?
Thanks!

Never mind, I've added this directive in /etc/rsyslog.conf on my Debian server to drop all messages from the Satellite and now it has stopped filling user.log and related logs.
