GG writing more info to /var/log/messages

Question

Dear All,
Thank you very much for your continuous support .
GG version: 11.2
DB version: 11.2
OS: OEL 5
Am seeing log of info being writtent to /var/log/messages.
AS per reference guide, i have used SYSLOG NONE parameter in GLOBALS file but still am seeing info is being written to /var/log/messages file.
i have tried SYSLOG ERROR and SYSLOG ERROR, WARN
but still GG is writing INFO messages to messages file.
Could some one help me to resolve it.
Thank you very much in advance
Best Regards
Vamshi

There could be two reasons:
1. You have to exit GGSCI and restart again for GLOBALS changes to take effect, which you may not have done.
2. you might still be using SYSLOG in manager parameter file which overrides the GLOBALS setting as per the below explaination from Oracle.
"You can use SYSLOG as a GLOBALS or Manager parameter, or both. When present in the GLOBALS parameter file, it controls message filtering for all of the Oracle GoldenGate processes on the system. When present in the Manager parameter file, it controls message filtering only for the Manager process. If used in both the GLOBALS and Manager parameter files, the Manager setting overrides the GLOBALS setting for the Manager process."
