From 95c16b58ea5d0c58ad60cea1efad8a5ee41f878b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Hudson Date: Thu, 6 Jun 2019 11:35:36 -0400 Subject: Improve logging documentation The default severity was removed by commit 6ce8fd4cfa2e9b1e92debd204a5b2ddf053cca55 (ticket 8630) but the example still talks about it; remove that text. Add a note about the default being syslog if nothing else is specified, and a note on how to disable logging.
