G'day y'all...

I am trying to find a way to disable all of the `[info]` log entries in the syslog file from the various `cronplus` nodes I have in my flows....

Anybody managed to do this? (If so.... How?)

I've got an [open git issue for this](https://github.com/Steve-Mcl/node-red-contrib-cron-plus/issues/48), which I created in January.  
In the meantime, I've edited cronplus.js and [edited out these lines](https://github.com/Steve-Mcl/node-red-contrib-cron-plus/blob/master/cronplus.js#L1130-L1134), so that they read;

```auto
/*
            try {
                node.log(`createTask - index: ${index}, static: ${static}, opt: ${JSON.stringify(opt)}`);
            } catch (error) {
                node.error(error);
            }
*/

```

But of course my edit get's over-written each time I update Cron+, but it's a 2 minute job, and avoids the log getting polluted with information that I don't need to see.

**[EDIT -]** More replies whilst I was typing

[added by @zenofmud to make it easier for others to find the location of the code]  
If you want to fix it you need to edit the `cronplus.js` file.

`nano $HOME/.node-red/node_modules/node-red-contrib-cron-plus/cronplus.js`

Then press `ctrl-w` (which is the keyboard shortcut for 'search) and enter `function createTask` to locate the code in the file to edit.

Then change the code to look like this:

```auto
        function createTask(node, opt, index, static) {
            opt = opt || {};
/*
            try {
                node.log(`createTask - index: ${index}, static: ${static}, opt: ${JSON.stringify(opt)}`);
            } catch (error) {
                node.error(error);
            }
*/
            applyOptionDefaults(opt, index);

```

Save the file (`ctrl-x` then `y` then `return`) and reboot Node-RED

Thanks Paul,

That might just work for me in the interim...

Pray tell, can I just edit and save or must I restart something to get the changes "active"?

You just need to restart node-RED to read in the change.

Hopefully you will move the messages to debug or trace rather than removing them? They can occasionally be helpful after all 😃
