[Solved] Journalctl spam | how to silence certain messages?

I'm getting this every 10 seconds in journal. I don't have any idea what it is, but my system seem pretty stable.
Any way to silence this?

Re: [Solved] Journalctl spam | how to silence certain messages?

For now I have blacklisted the r8169 module as I don't use the ethernet, marking as solved

If you have any idea what this is about let me know...

Downgrading kernel to 4.2.5-1also works

Re: [Solved] Journalctl spam | how to silence certain messages?

@bhav97,

But that's not a solution, just a workaround for this particular problem. The bigger question is how to suppress certain/repetitive messages in the journal. I too have faced this problem in the past and couldn't find any solution at that time.

Re: [Solved] Journalctl spam | how to silence certain messages?

I recently experienced unexpected early SSD failure (as in at least a couple years early) and a little forensic investigations showed a constant spamming of journalctl logs.

In order to avoid the same thing to happen again, I'd like to know if there is way to prevent systemd from spamming logs or maybe to fully replace the systemd journal by syslog.
