Reduce SNMPd logging verbosity

SNMPd on my CentOS systems is sending log messages to syslog every time it receives a query from my monitoring tools. Is there a way to lower the verbosity of SNMPd? It adds a lot of clutter to the logs.

Thank…

SNMP is the „Simple Network Management Protocol“ and is commonly used in corporate networks, by network vendors, and in network management systems (NMS). I wrote an own implementation for OpenBSD because I was not satisfied with the complexity of the existing open source implementations, most importantly net-snmp. The result is snmpd, a small, clean and secure SNMP agent that is especially written for OpenBSD. The initial version just supported SNMPv2, but v3-support was contributed about 5 years later.
