Since upgrading to OH4, all my devices that I track with network binding get an update in the logs every time they are checked. This happens even if the online/offline status doesn’t change.

I was wondering if this is a bug, or if I can turn it off. I’ve checked the Advanced tab on one of the devices but there’s nothing that stands out:

Thank you for your help! That was it!

I edited /var/lib/openhab/etc/log4j2.xml and added the two missing lines from your link:

<!-- openHAB specific logger configuration -->

                <Logger level="INFO" name="org.openhab"/>
