On a fresh 5.4.7 test installation, the log of the QDB is flooded by  
```  
`260624 18:34:13 time=1782318853.561605 INFO: During the last 10 seconds, I serviced 0 reads (0 Hz), and 4 writes (0 Hz) over 4 write transactions`  
```  
This is correct, there was no activity whatsoever, but I didn’t want to be reminded about it every 10 sec.  
I have search for _log level_ and _debug_ options, also running `grep` in every conceivable directory, but did not find anything.  
Obviously, a log level like “Warning” would be sufficient - but how?

Cheers
