Disabling syslogd messages

Question

As I am working with the terminal, I see a lot of messages every some seconds saying that

Message from syslogd@compute-0-0 at Jul 24 18:38:57 ...
 kernel:[  723.595032] [Hardware Error]:     MC4_STATUS[-|CE|MiscV|-|AddrV|CECC]: 0x9c0240006b080813

Message from syslogd@compute-0-0 at Jul 24 18:38:57 ...
 kernel:[  723.595042] [Hardware Error]: Northbridge Error (node 0): DRAM ECC error detected on the NB.

There are a lot of discussions for that and I have to go to find the buggy DRAM DIMM.

Until then, I want to disable the flood of messages on the terminal. I didn't find "how to disable the online syslogd messages".

Any idea for that? The OS is Centos-6.

Check /etc/rsyslog.conf for RULES and change below line:

#kern.*                                                 /dev/console

To

kern.*                                                 /dev/null

Then restart rsyslogd:

/etc/init.d/rsyslog reload

That line it currently commented. Do you mean I have to uncomment that? – mahmood May 12 '16 at 10:53
Edited the answer. Try and let me know. – jijinp May 12 '16 at 10:57
Has no effect!! I even tried with `restart` instead of `reload` – mahmood May 12 '16 at 11:29
