[OpenSIPS-Users] turn off syslog logging with OpenSIPS 3.2 ?

[Ovidiu Sas]

Yes, OpenSIPS will log to syslog unless you are asking to redirect all
logs to stderr.
Just send all the logs to syslog and then filter them based on severity.

The pattern is:
<facility><severity>    <file/to/log>
If you use severity none, then that particular facility will be disabled.
