Not sure why the “create topic” didn’t allow me to write my own text. So here’s the actual issue - WARP is logging too much. It is set to something that looks like DEBUG mode a developer would use.

I don’t need to know everything that’s happening within the client, especially if I’m in disconnected mode.

How can I set the logging to INFO or WARNING level only? warp-svc doesn’t seem to have any options. I don’t see anything for this in warp-cli. There’s no configuration file for warp on filesystem.

Workaround - you can push unitfile override with systemctl edit warp-cli and add

[Service]
LogLevelMax=warning

Sadly, the info level includes also DEBUG.

Or you can put journal and warp logs into ram only.
Or in general you’d want to change it to error only? :thinking:

  • Open the Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 app.
  • Go to Settings.
  • Look for options related to Privacy, Logging, or Diagnostics.
  • Depending on the version, Cloudflare may have an option to disable sending diagnostic data or logs for troubleshooting. Toggle off any settings related to this.

If these options are not visible directly in the app, it’s possible Cloudflare doesn’t provide direct control over logs for the Warp app, and they manage it automatically with a focus on user privacy.

Using warp-diag we can retrive the log files.

Despite, the best way might be to reach out to Cloudflare’s support team to inquire about advanced logging options or configurations that may not be publicly documented or available, but as you’ve found out, could be changed in the service file.

Hopefully, you’ve went later with systemctl daemon-reload and systemctl restart warp-cli to apply such changes? :thinking:

Wonder if you execute the chattr -i on the log file, then it might not be filling it anymore futher.

Is it due to the Privacy concern or?

We might ask and/or create a topic for a Feedback > Feature Request Submitting & Feedback about this to have such toggle option in the interface itself in future :crossed_fingers:
