Hi,
We were getting debug messages we weren't interested in from ssh modeling.

Debug message from remote device (): Agent forwarding disabled.

It looks like the message handling in SshClient.py:receiveDebug () was set to info instead of debug.  Is it supposed to be info?  I couldn't find how suppress log messages so I changed this to debug.  Is there better way to ignore these debug messages?

See what you mean!  Reading the comments at the start of the receiveDebug code, I think the point is that you DO want to log info if the target device itself provided debug information - and I think that is what you are seeing. 

What you have done looks fine to me if you don't want to see such messages.  You will, of course, need a process to repatch this code if you upgrade or use ZenUp.

Cheers,
Jane
