Disable nagios messages logging

Disable deamon.notice logging:

Problem

Nagios extensive logging into /var/adm/messages

Symtoms

Logging is found in the /var/adm/messages as follows:

Feb 10 03:12:05 HOST inetd[2755]: [ID 317013 daemon.notice] nrpe[13059] from <ip address> 37236
Feb 10 03:12:05 HOST nrpe[13059]: [ID 927837 mail.info] connect from <client fqdn>

Resolution

To disable the inetd (daemon.notice) log messages do the following:

If nagios is under SMF (Service Management Facility) then disable the logging using:

inetadm -m svc:/network/nrpe/tcp:default tcp_trace=FALSE
svcadm refresh network/nrpe/tcp

For the nrpe (mail.info) messages I don't have a solution for local zones yet.

Remarks

It seems that the nrpe [ID 927837 mail.info] messages still appears in local zones. The nrpe [ID 317013 daemon.notice] messages in the local zones can be prevented by setting tcp_wrappers to false in the local zone.
