By default, Jellyfin on CentOS logs to the main system log. This isn’t an issue except in odd instances, like for example when part of library is located on a remote network attached storage that isn’t permanently available (not a great idea, but powersaving does exist). This makes Jellyfin log thousands of lines of warnings when (re)scanning the libraries and hits the missing media locations:
Mar 11 20:12:46 srv jellyfin[1376]: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path '/storage/remote/media/Media/TV'.

This further causes lfd to send warning notifications about the log flooding:
Alert: *Error* Log line flooding/looping in /var/log/messages. Reopening log file
To prevent Jelllyfin from filling up the main log, edit /etc/jellyfin/logging.json and remove the highlighted lines:
{
"Serilog": {
"MinimumLevel": {
"Default": "Information",
"Override": {
"Microsoft": "Warning",
"System": "Warning"
}
},
"WriteTo": [
{
"Name": "Console",
"Args": {
"outputTemplate": "[{Timestamp:HH:mm:ss}] [{Level:u3}] [{ThreadId}] {SourceContext}: {Message:lj}{NewLine}{Exception}"
}
},
{
"Name": "Async",
"Args": {
"configure": [
{
"Name": "File",
"Args": {
"path": "%JELLYFIN_LOG_DIR%//log_.log",
"rollingInterval": "Day",
"retainedFileCountLimit": 3,
"rollOnFileSizeLimit": true,
"fileSizeLimitBytes": 100000000,
"outputTemplate": "[{Timestamp:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff zzz}] [{Level:u3}] [{ThreadId}] {SourceContext}: {Message}{NewLine}{Exception}"
}
}
]
}
}
],
"Enrich": [ "FromLogContext", "WithThreadId" ]
}
}
Then restart Jellyfin:
systemctl stop jellyfin systemctl start jelyfin
Check that it is running correctly with:
systemctl status jellyfin
