sinfod writes to /var/log/syslog every second

[Sven Hartrumpf]

sinfod (version 0.0.47-4, Ubuntu 15.10) fills /var/log/syslog very quickly.
Is this normal?
Can this be reduced?

Example lines:
Feb 26 08:00:11 s16 sinfod[936]: BroadcastReceiver::handle_receive_from 370 bytes
Feb 26 08:00:11 s16 sinfod[936]: BroadcastReceiver::receive

Feb 26 08:00:12 s16 sinfod[936]: BroadcastReceiver::handle_receive_from 299 bytes
Feb 26 08:00:12 s16 sinfod[936]: BroadcastReceiver::receive
Feb 26 08:00:12 s16 sinfod[936]: BroadcastReceiver::receive after search
Feb 26 08:00:12 s16 sinfod[936]: BroadcastReceiver::receive start while
...

sinfod is automatically started as:
/usr/sbin/sinfod --quiet --foreground --top 8

This fast log filling is also present on Ubuntu 16.04.
If there is no bug fix, are there any workarounds?
Thanks for your time.

[Sven Hartrumpf (hartrumpf)]

I am now using this work-around, but I think that the achieved behavior should be the default.

1. Add the following line to /lib/systemd/system/sinfo.service, below the ExecStart line:
StandardOutput=null

2. systemctl daemon-reload && systemctl restart sinfo

Ciao
