of course i disable all my debug nodes and also node.warn inside my functions.
there is a way to avoid of saving logs in daemong.log ??
also syslog is in same situation
and i also notice that if i activate a debug node or a node.warn the outout of this two is written on daemon.log and syslog and i don't need that
