I recently discovered that Growl is logging all of my notifications. This is of particular concern since it is displaying (and logging) notifications for my Adium conversations. I could send the log file to /dev/null, but it seems to be logging to system.log.

Ah-ha! Answered my own question. Google doesn't seem to have any results that cover it, but for the sake of future generations that may have the same question, it can be disabled with

defaults write com.Growl.GrowlHelperApp GrowlLoggingEnabled 0
sudo killall GrowlHelperApp
open ~/Library/PreferencePanes/Growl.prefPane/Contents/Resources/GrowlHelperApp.app
open /Library/PreferencePanes/Growl.prefPane/Contents/Resources/GrowlHelperApp.app


I included both possible locations for Growl depending if it was installed for user or system. You don't need to run both open commands, but it won't hurt anything if you do.
