Lord give me patience, but make it fast... ;-) Let me rephrase: Is it
 deliberate that nyx logs both DEBUG and TRACE level messages when I use
 the --debug option? I would only expect debug level entries.
 
 Yes, it is.
 
 That generates many MB of output data through which I'd rather not wade
 aimlessly, trying to identify what to anonymise/delete. Can I for example
 get rid of all TRACE entries for starters, or would that render the
 output useless to you? What other data would I need to remove so you
 don't get unnecessary insight into my nodes' details? I mentioned auth
 challenges already.
 
 Sure. If you'd care to 'grep -v' those out then feel free. For this
 issue the tor trace logs are not helpful.
 
 P.S.: Perhaps we should discuss this further off-list?
 
 Sure, sounds good to me.
