Stop Spotinst Agent from sending logs to syslog

Title

You might want to stop the Spotinst Agent from logging to syslog if you need to reduce log volume or prevent logs from flowing into a system-level log collector. You can disable syslog output by updating the Spotinst Agent systemd service and restarting the agent.

Solution

Edit the Spotinst Agent service to disable syslog output. Run the following command to update the systemd service file:
sed -i 's/[Service]/[Service]\nStandardOutput=null\nStandardError=null/g' /lib/systemd/system/spotinst-agent.service
Reload systemd so it recognizes the updated service file.
```
systemctl daemon-reload
```
Restart the Spotinst Agent.
```
systemctl restart spotinst-agent
```

Outcome

After you restart the agent, it no longer sends log output to syslog. This reduces the amount of system-level logging generated by the Spotinst Agent.
