Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/3197

What are you trying to do?

For maximum privacy, it would be nice to be able to disable logging completely

How should we solve this?

Setting an env variable that sets the logging level to none, so absolutely no logs are being outputted

What is the impact of not solving this?

None, it’s just a nice addition for privacy reasons in case ollama is being stored in a shared server

Anything else?

No response

I think the best way is to be able to set a specific log level through environment variable with "no logs" as just one of available levels.

In the meantime, I've set StandardOutput=null [1] in my ollama's systemd service file. My reason was simply that ollama terribly spams journald with loads of info I don't care about. It's also possible to set StandardError=null [2], btw.

I'm also looking for a way to configure the ollama logging to only log warnings and errors.
Anyone managed to configure this?
