Hi,

I'm running the Flask APM agent and when added to my script it starts filling my logs with the following every 5-10 seconds

```auto
flushing due to time since last flush 9.060s > max_flush_time 9.060s

```

Which is making it harder to track between requests.

Is there a way to disable this log without going into the file and removing it manually?

Thanks

How are you initialising the agent? That message will only be logged at `DEBUG` level logging. You probably don't need to log this level of detail unless you're actively investigating an agent issue.

You can specify the log level in the `elasticapm.contrib.flask.ElasticAPM` call. See [Flask support | APM Python Agent Reference [6.x] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/apm/agent/python/current/flask-support.html#flask-logging) for details.
