syslog messages - change logging level

Hello, I am receiving way to many syslog messages. I made sure in the gui that nothing is below the level of notice, but I am still getting alot of informational messages. How I can assure that I only receive notice and above? Thanks!

      I'd encourage you to look closer at step 3. This will allow you to configure syslog-ng to filter the messages being sent to the remote syslog server. You can do something like this: include " filter f_remote_loghost { level(notice..emerg); }; destination d_remote_loghost { udp(\"192.168.22.56\" port(514)); }; log { source(s_syslog_pipe); filter(f_remote_loghost); destination(d_remote_loghost); }; "
