```

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 🙂

Do you have `Enable Node Debug` ticked in the google-smarthome Management node?  
Also, is your smarthome node up to date? most logging was disabled a few versions ago.

no it is disabled (i think you are referring to managment node)

> Also, is your smarthome node up to date? most logging was disabled a few versions ago.

The OP has now raised a git issue, see [daemon.log growing faster · Issue #364 · mikejac/node-red-contrib-google-smarthome · GitHub](https://github.com/mikejac/node-red-contrib-google-smarthome/issues/364)

@Paul-Reed thanks, let's see there if there will be a fix.

in the mean time, as general question, there is a way to allow nodered to save message log on daemon.log and syslog?  
because i see that when i develop a code and i use node.warn or debug node, the information are saved in daemong.log and syslog.  
there is a way to avoid that?  
thanks
