Deactive Insight agent
Hi,
We are running a couple of GC728XP switches in main building. We do not manage them in the clould but only locally.
We have thus changed the management mode to "direct web browser interface".
However, the switches already run for a while and i spotted now the below message in the logs:
"OpEN tRpcsrv.01000 - : openapi_logging.c(1294) 2810402 %% CloudAgent: registerInsightCloud:Waiting for 20 sec and then retry".
Is there a way to deactivate those recurring messages as it looks to me this is some overhead that is, at least in our case, not needed as we don't use the Cloud option, so no need to register the Insight Cloud agent?
I have searched the user manual but could not find any way of doing so...
thanks.
P. Thijs

Hi PaulThijs,
Welcome to our community! 🙂
As per checking, this recurring Insight notification is normal as mainly this switch only has an option to be able to configure via local GUI and there is no way for us to disable it.

Is there a way to stop these messages from clogging up the switch logs?

Welcome to the community! 🙂
There is no option to stop these messages to show in the logs. Be reminded that the GC728XP is designed to be used with NETGEAR Insight but still it can be managed locally.

The recurring log entries are certainly no real concern - the real reason should be that best practices recommending to disable services not required for operations or any other reason. The idea of having the device ready to "let's-bring-the-switch-into-Insight" any day is certainly not strong enough to ignore the above. DaneA JohnC_V please rush out this message to the Netgear management and Insight engineering. yes, I'm aware this requires a spec change and must be deployed to all cloud managed switches. My reports are still unheard. but we see more similar requests in the community.
