            Bug ID: 88926
           Summary: systemd-timesyncd : A way to limit log entries
           Product: systemd
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: general
          Assignee: systemd-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Hello,

I've been looking for a way to disable that many log entries for timesyncd. 

Since I'm running my system from a USB flash drive, I'd like to keep the
logging very slim to ease on the drive wear. Currently timesyncd writes
excessive logs all the time, for instance : 

Aug 28 04:26:03 pogo systemd-timesyncd[105]: interval/delta/delay/jitter/drift
2048s/+0.001s/0.066s/0.002s/+27ppm
Aug 28 05:00:11 pogo systemd-timesyncd[105]: interval/delta/delay/jitter/drift
2048s/-0.002s/0.061s/0.003s/+26ppm
Aug 28 05:34:19 pogo systemd-timesyncd[105]: interval/delta/delay/jitter/drift
2048s/+0.002s/0.066s/0.002s/+27ppm
Aug 28 06:08:27 pogo systemd-timesyncd[105]: interval/delta/delay/jitter/drift
2048s/-0.002s/0.063s/0.003s/+26ppm


Compared to rest of the entries this results as 80% of all daily logs. 

There are no specific options for timesyncd to be set. This bug report seems
similar to 86292 (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86292), but the
fix posted there doesn't resolve the logging entries. An option to limit or
perhaps disable logging would be very beneficial.
