Disable custom rsyslog configuration:

for file in /etc/rsyslog.d/op5-rsyslog{,-pgsql,-file}.conf; do mv "$file" "${file}.disabled"; done

Restart:

systemctl try-restart rsyslog

Now you can optionally disable PostgreSQL:

systemctl stop postgresql && systemctl mask postgresql

EL6/CentOS6 support for OP5 Monitor ended on Nov 2020.

In /etc/syslog-ng/syslog-ng.conf comment out the include part like this:

#include "conf.d/*.conf";

Then reload syslog-ng

service syslog-ng reload

Note this fix will stop syslog-ng from using all filters in conf.d. This is only a problem if you have custom filters that you wish to use.

In a default OP5 Monitor system there are only this file op5-syslog-ng.conf present in conf.d

ls -l /etc/syslog-ng/conf.d/*

Now you can optionally disable postgres.

chkconfig postgresql off service postgresql stop

Logrotate Copied

You may also want to disable the daily log rotation to stop error messages from being sent out when it fails, since it will attempt to connect to the database:

sed -i 's/^/#/' /etc/cron.d/op5-logger-logrotate
