Warnings for services not configured in config file. Why?

[gitttt54]

Hello,

I started PMM like docker exec -it pmm python plex_meta_manager.py --run -c config/config_mm.yml --no-missing --cache-libraries --run-collections "Watchlist"

and my meta.log shows me those warings:

I have configured all the services I need, I guess, so why is PMM complaining about services, I don't use or have confugured?

Question:
How can I tell PMM not to show me warnings for services I don't use?

I really don't need to see useless (for me) information and scratch my brain unless I have made a mistake. If so, I'm very thankful for PMM telling me what should be changed to work properly.

Thank you very much for an answer.

[meisnate12]

no you cant suppress those messages

[meisnate12]

theyre warnings not errors for a reason

[gitttt54]

Warnings, not errors, by bad.

So the warning is "Hey, you don't have configured my Service!".

For me that sounds more than spam, than a warning.

What should be the use of a warning, if you don't have those services activated? I really don't get the benefit of it.

Ok, if I configure radarr in any later configs, but not have configured it (well enough) in the main config, I can see a reason for a warning. but here? What reason?

[meisnate12]

it needs to say something lets say youre trying to configure a service and dont format the yaml correct so pmm can see that section this message is what tells the user that from the log and its a warning because there a reasons you may want that to happen

[gitttt54]

I'm beginning to understand...
So this warning is something like a "initializing" message, so that, if an error occours, the user (or PMM?) knows where it occours...

[chazlarson]

The specific warning you show above is appearing because you've removed the section from your config file, and PMM is warning you that it can't see this section that it expects to be there. This might mean that you formatted something incorrectly, but in this case you took the positive action of removing that section, so you know that you can ignore that warning.
