====== Prevent programm from logging to daemon.log ======
If you have a programm that is constantly writing to ///var/log/daemon.log// you can prevent it like this.

Example of log message:
<code>
Mar  4 13:23:54 serverhostname annoyingprogramm[596417]: 2022/03/04 13:23:54 Found connection for client 
</code>

Make a new file in ///etc/rsyslog.d/annoyingprogramm.conf// containing this:
  :programname, contains, "annoyingprogramm" stop

Restart rsyslog
  systemctl restart rsyslog.service
