If Argus API is used via nvarguscamerasrc gstreamer plugin, it outputs bunch of hardware init/de-init logs (GST_ARGUS:, CONSUMER:, PowerServiceHwVic:), e.g.:

$ gst-launch-1.0 nvarguscamerasrc ! nvoverlaysink

This verbosity should be controlled via GST_DEBUG env var, but nvidia plugin completely ignores it.

How to disables these messages?

hello nazikus,

those were information of all available sensor modes, which enable by defaults.
if you keep sensor stream running, there’ll no additional messages shown, only error reporting.
thanks

I understand, but I need to disable them completely. Our solution implies often camera switch on and off. And these messages are just polluting the logs. How to disables these logs?

hello nazikus,

it’s using a marco to report the status,
you may have customization to change the log level or removing those information prints.
for example,
$L4T_Sources/r32.4.3/Linux_for_Tegra/source/public/gst-nvarguscamera/gstnvarguscamerasrc.cpp

#define GST_ARGUS_PRINT(...) printf("GST_ARGUS: " __VA_ARGS__)
#define CONSUMER_PRINT(...) printf("CONSUMER: " __VA_ARGS__)

and where do I get these sources and compilation instructions?

hello nazikus,

please access the sources package, there’s README file show the steps to compile the “gst-nvarguscamera” sources.
you’ll need to compile the sources and replace libgstnvarguscamerasrc.so binary, after that, please perform a warm-reboot to make the changes take effect.
thanks
