/var/log/messages logging?

Hi,

On my server the System Administrator watches the /var/log/messages file for almost any entry. I looks like NagisoXI is putting a lot of items into that file. Can that logging be stopped or shunted to a non-system log?

The "correct" way to route the log traffic elsewhere (on CentOS 7 anyway) would be an rsyslog configuration rule:

Double check your rsyslog version though. I've linked the v7 documentation.
