logging level - Alien News - 2025-09-12
Hi,
I installed jellyfin using "curl https://repo.jellyfin.org/install-debuntu.sh | sudo bash" the installation went well and everything seems to be working as intended.
For context jellyfin version is 10.10.7.0 and i'm on a debian bookworm
Also I'm using nginx as a reverse proxy to avoid having a custom port in the url so some logs ends in
access.log and error.log within /var/log/nginx
Now, the issue I have is with the logging level which is a little crazy by default, as when i play a music for example via jellyfin every 10 seconds it logs something like the following in access.log :
192.168.1.1 - - [12/Sep/2025:13:34:52 +0200] "POST /Sessions/Playing/Progress HTTP/2.0" 204 0 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:142.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/142.0"
192.168.1.1 - - [12/Sep/2025:13:34:53 +0200] "POST /Sessions/Playing HTTP/2.0" 204 0 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:142.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/142.0"
192.168.1.1 - - [12/Sep/2025:13:35:02 +0200] "POST /Sessions/Playing/Progress HTTP/2.0" 204 0 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:142.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/142.0"
192.168.1.1 - - [12/Sep/2025:13:35:12 +0200] "POST /Sessions/Playing/Progress HTTP/2.0" 204 0 "-" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:142.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/142.0"
now i tried to change the logging level within /etc/jellyfin/logging.json from its default value (Information) to Warning and then to Error but depite restarting the service after each change I still ends up with the hyper verbose logging. tried to copy the file in a subfolder named "config" based on the documentation without more success, did the same in /var/lib/jellyfin and /var/lib/jellyfin/config without more result either...
So, if anyone knows how to change that behavior that would save me ^^
Thank you for your time

Those are Nginx logs, not Jellyfin logs so you would need to configure logging settings there.
