how to control logging?

[Zed]

I am using weewx 4.9.1 with a Bresser5in1 together with the extension bme280wx in version 1.0.
For every messure I find messages like these every ~ 15 seconds in each of user.log, syslog,  debug and messages:

... weewxd: bme280: {'outHumidity': 99.0, 'outTemp': 9.1, ...
... weewxd: bme280: BME280 data compensated_reading(id=...

Off cource this is filling my /var/log filesystem every couple of days.
I followed the advice in How to limit syslog logging which didn't help much.
How can i control in which log files these messages are being logged?

debug = 0 is set in weewx.conf.

It appears that the bme280wx extension has not been updated and still uses the old style "syslog" logging. Assuming you are using a Debian based system, this can only be controlled through /etc/rsyslog. See "man rsyslog.conf"

Or, modify the extension to use the newer style Python "logging", then submit a merge request to the author. It looks like someone did this 9 months ago, but the author has not acted on the request. Perhaps you can just copy the merge request?

Thank you Tom
The uncommited version 1.0.1 works well for me!
