SOLVED Why does my KVM terminal show firewall output?

[JIKOmetrix]

Hello,

I have an odd one here. Why would my KVM login screen show firewall output when no one is logged in? it makes hard to use the KVM even after login. If you don't type fast enough your cursor gets lost int the output.

Is there a way to turn this output off? I have some servers that do not output firewall info the KVM terminal screen. I do not know how they prevent it.

See attached.

Hey there! This wouldn't be related to cPanel, but if you do a web search for "linux terminal showing firewall messages" you'll get many different answers about this. It likely is a kernel setting or an issue with dmesg.

Thanks. I'll try looking there now.

Hello,

I found this: Message logging with printk — The Linux Kernel documentation

To change the current console_loglevel simply write the desired level to /proc/sys/kernel/printk. For example, to print all messages to the console:

nano /proc/sys/kernel/printk

Default was 5 4 1 7 and changed to 3 4 1 3 then saved.

This stopped the messages from flooding my terminal in the KVM.

Thanks,
Mike
