GoldenGate PMSRVR log entries filling up /var/log/secure

There were INFO messages from the adminsrvr, recsrvr, distsrvr for each deployment filling up the /var/log/secure file.  Editing this file and restarting each deployment have fixed it: /u01/app/ogg/ogg_19c/lib/utl/logging/ogg-audit.xml

Modified from <level value=”info”/> to <level value=”warn”/>

UPDATE: If you want to complete turn off the logging you can do this: <level value=“info”/> to <level value=”off”/>

Issue detected and resolved on version 19c. Make sure to restart the services after altering the file.
