<p>Hi everyone;</p>
<p>I have been biten by the fact that the syslog plugin won't allow debug logging if its not a debug collectd.</p>
<p>While I think its ok to have no debug loglevel in non-debug binaries, (others i.e. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=687067 are having a different opinion)</p>
<p>I think its not ok to go all silent and achieve the opposite of the configured value.</p>
<p>Therefore I think collectd should log that the configuration for the loglevel isn't valid (-> configuration error), and fallback to 'info'</p>
<p> </p>
<p>My suggestion how to implement this:</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Cheers, Willi</p>
