Is there a way (other than clearing the checkboxes in setup) to have a timed event or a macro NOT written to the event log?

I have an event that runs every 3 minutes changing multiple global variables and it fills the log very quickly.

I thought I saw something before on this, but can't seem to find it.

Happy holidays!

Is there a reason people care about big log files? Mine usually runs at 400+ web pages worth.

I'm getting near 150+ pages and just starting to get nervous. I'm trimming every night. I guess it's not that big of a deal since you are up over 400 pages. I am archiving the log, however, and if something ever comes up, it's much easier to find problems if I don't have to slog through dozens of pages of data to find what I'm looking for...

So any ideas?

AFAIK, you can only go in and set it to not log all of an event type, not just one (all timed events or all macros).

You could just disable those and add user messages where appropriate.

I haven't looked at it but I suppose you could write a SQL query that runs every-so-often that purges events matching a certain pattern... I actually thought about doing this for some of my "noisy" motion sensors that keep adding a bazillion events in the log, but was never too much an issue to really look into.
