I did my own ddns no-ip script, which does http fetch of an html file with my public ip address, and I noticed that fetch tool logs every download, so my log is cluttured with unnecessary fetch logs.
So my feature request is that fetch tool have additional property, like for example: no-log.

I have the same issue.
Script for no-ip updating is working fine, but this command always create log entry.
/tool fetch mode=http address="checkip.dyndns.org" src-path="/" dst-path="/dyndns.checkip.html"
Is there any possibility how to disable logging for "fetch"?

OS version:6.39.2

same for me, please add verbose flag...

will be nice an option to log only on error.

no messages when got and 200 response, but log for connection error or different status code.

seconded!

and logging event in case of error only would be even better

+1.

My script needs to /tool fetch a url as an https 'get' for update the ddns service.
There is no actual file but the fetch creates a 2 byte file in the name of the url query. The file is named "?=xxx" where xxx is a mixed random string (the update token).

This file is difficult to deal with due to the '?' in the name and sometimes my script fails to delete it (mystery...).
Since I can't rename it and I can't download to my windows box a file with a ? in the name I have no idea what the 2 bytes in it are but I know I would rather be able to not create teh file in first place as I never parse it or use it so it's completely unnecessary clutter and it clutters my logs on every run.

nice request

I got around this by using resolve.

I resolve my public IP address. And make that a local variable. Then I compare that variable to what I pick off IP cloud or route pref-source.

This cuts down on sending unnecessary traffic to my name server provider. And NOTHING GETS WRITTEN TO MY LOG UNTIL... I send an update to the name server.

If you provide a copy of your script...
Maybe I could show you where to plug in local variables. but here are my pieces... YOU WILL NEED TO ADD THE WORD "WAN" to your public facing interface.
i.e. ether1-WAN

Pick IP From Route
Pick IP from Address
Pick IP from DHCP-Client
Get Public IP from IP Cloud
Resolve your current DNS name
Once you have those 2 things...
Compare them.

If not = then run the part of the script that sends the update to your service.

Then you will only have a log entry when they need and do updates.

(Figured this out a few years back and have been using it since.)

nice request

+1 for the request. im also getting log messages on each POST.

+1 for the request

I can't wait for this feature.
It should be easy to implement.
Fetch is used in multiple ways and should not overload logs.

im not seeing fetch hit the logs on my scripts. whats the topics involved with the logging? maybe you have those enabled and so they are logging.

+1
fetch should get a own log topic "fetch", so we can just disable it: Leo.

+1 i need this

i really hope this can be implemented soon

I explained how to get around this 2 years ago.

Read the post and pick your fix.

Please can you provide a link to your "no fetch log entry" post.

Thanks

It's too hard scroll back???

or just turn off the logs, so there is no problem with the logs...
