+5In earlier versions of FME desktop/form i was able to filter log messages from options → translation → log settings. I know i can disable them in traslation log but we used those settings to control if server/flow logged warning messages. We have process that creates massive amounts of unnecessary warning messages that generates gigabytes of logs. Log message filter option doesn’t seem to be available anymore? Is it moved some other place?

+58To my knowledge, the transaction log runs in full and there are tool bar icons to filter it for the warning, error etc. severity. Not sure when or why they dropped this in the 2024 redesign...
You also have workspace defaults > max features to log
I suggest you update your workspace and edit the logger > severity. Alternatively consider adding a csv writer and direct all the warning to output into a separate log
+5That’s a weird thing to remove. Now there is now simple way to filter out warning messages from Flow.
+26Does anyone know if an idea has been posted to bring the Log Message Filter options back? It is still missing in 2026.1.1
+11Hi
Removing the Log Message Filter in FME Form 2024.1 and later was an intentional change on our side.
The decision was made to simplify the logging experience and address an issue we were seeing where many of our Flow users were unknowingly publishing workspaces with suppressed message types to Flow, leading to incomplete or misleading logs that were difficult to troubleshoot.
That said, I’m hearing that folks are wanting the ability to keep their log files sizes down in Form translations, which is great feedback for us!
I see you’ve already chimed in on the Idea:
and I’m sharing it here in case any other folks are interested, or would like to branch out a new idea more specific to bringing the log message filters back. For anyone else interested, I’d recommend upvoting it and sharing your use case there in order to help inform our product development team.

I think being able to keep the filters when you publish to FME Flow is useful. I used to be able to quickly see which completed jobs wrote records out to a service or which ones need to be checked on based off of the warnings but now that page just looks messy and the warnings are not helpful indicators anymore.
See these two comparison screenshots showing how easy it is to see that the third job on the list should be checked with the 2023 filters vs how difficult it is to id that third record with the lack of filters in 2024+:
