What happened to logging of my scheduled searches (by name) in version 4.0?

INFO  SavedSplunker - Found 2 scheduled saved searches
INFO  SavedSplunker - About to run saved search: 'admin;search;badger', next run: Thu Apr 29 12:43:00 2010, trigger_actions=1

INFO  SavedSplunker - AlertNotifier ran notifications=1, actions=1, managedSearchCount=0

It used to be that I could see my scheduled search runs in splunkd.log like above. This was very useful for debugging. What happened to them?

SavedSplunker errors were converted to WARN in later versions of 4.0. You can re-enable logging at the INFO level by adding the following to your etc/log.cfg under [splunkd]:

[splunkd]
category.SavedSplunker=INFO

If you've got lots of scheduled searches this will result in a noisy splunkd.log.

In 4.1 we change the default logging to INFO and give it its own logfile: scheduler.log.
