Lots of log messages for merged tickets

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

Is it my imagination, or does RT 3.6.3 do more voluminous ‘debug’ level
logging than, say, 3.4.5 or 3.4.2?

In particular, in 3.6.3, whenever I reference a ticket that consists of a
couple of merged tickets, I get several dozen rapid-fire messages in my
rt.log, like this:

[debug]: We found a merged ticket.566/561
(/users/ist-rt/RT/rt/ist-rt/lib/RT/Ticket_Overlay.pm:271)

The identical message appears consecutively at least a couple of dozen
times and the same same thing occurs for each ticket that was merged into
the selected ticket.

In earlier RT versions, I might see no more than 3 or 5 such consecutive
log messages.

My log is filling up quite fast because of this.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Mike

The ‘debug’ log level is really intended for, well, debugging. In
production, I’d probably turn it down to “warn” or “info”

Jesse,

Well, that certainly makes a lot of sense. I was a bit concerned that the
difference between 3.4.2 and 3.6.3 in the amount logged under ‘debug’
might reflect something wrong with my setup of the latter. But I have no
evidence for this, so I’ll just change ‘debug’ to ‘info’ and see how that
goes. I assume I won’t miss any messages that I need to know about in
normal operation.

Thanks.

We tend to add more debugging output when we’re doing more debugging.
We don’t tend to remove new debugging output.
