Reducing Verbosity of Logs in Docker Standalone Installation

TLDR Earl was concerned about the verbose log levels from the MySQL and Redis containers in a newly installed standalone Docker set up. After removing the hotrod containers, Prashant suggested to nitya-signoz that they add a filter to keep out logs from hotrod containers. The team agreed to disable hotrod logs by default.

Good Day Everyone! How can I change the log level of the other containers ( newly installed self-hosted via docker standalone )? The logs seem too verbose, there are a lot of INFO levels like from the MySQL container, Redis container (containers included on the default installation). At least only the errors are what I like to see on the logs :sweat_smile:

I had to remove the hotrods containers, it was the one that generated all those things on a "newly installed signoz" :face_exhaling:

Earl Thanks for raising the issue and pointing out the solution. nitya-signoz can you add filter to keep out logs from hotrod containers for Docker? We have it already set up for K8s.

Prashant do you mean to disable hotrot logs by default ? Ideally the hotrod application should be removed once the user has verified the installation.

true, but that could take days to weeks for them. And by then a lot of hotrod data would be collected. Logs being the most collected. Since we anyways have it disabled in K8s, we should do the same in Docker as well.
