Wanted: way to limit logging

From
"Jeff Boes"
Date:
We've enabled logging from our database during development, using the
option -l on the pg_ctl command.  However, we get a lot of useless data:

   NOTICE:  InvalidateSharedInvalid: cache state reset

shows up a lot, and whenever an INSERT statement is executed, we get the
statement as well as all the values.  Is there a way to reduce the
information spewed to the log? Ideally, we'd like to see only ERROR and
DEBUG messages, not NOTICE; for statements, we'd like to see the SQL
code, but have no interest in the values actually applied (some of our
INSERT statements receive 10K of data).

start postgres with

     -d 0

option,  this time it would only display limited info such as DEBUG,
NOTICEs, ERROR: ON LINE NUM's... or check postgresql.conf file for more
option.  In my configuration, i use

    silent_mode = false

    log_connections = true
    log_timestamp = true
    log_pid = true

    debug_level = 0 #equivalent to -d 0

to monitor the logs.
