Hi, Im using logstahs output exec and every time it runs, the output exec create a log like this:

```auto
[2020-08-27T16:56:40,756][INFO][logstash.outputs.exec][my-pipeline][53bf2b...]

```

the problem is that are hundreds of logs per minute, and that quantity hide the logs of other pipelines.

Also, when Im working in an integration I run logstash with the command:

```auto
sudo /usr/share/logstash/bin/logstash --path.settings /etc/logstash

```

to watch the logs in real time, so all those logs are really a problem

is there a way to avoid that this output create logs?

If you are talking about it [logging the output](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-exec/blob/1368941da87250a66e7f4da21f4aace82b82a730/lib/logstash/outputs/exec.rb#L58) of the command then you can suppress that using the [quiet](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-exec.html#plugins-outputs-exec-quiet) option.
