I assume you're referring to the g_log calls? There is a hidden
preference in Wireshark's preferences file (see Help - About - Folders
to see where the Personal Configuration is to find it under the filename
preferences):
######## Console: logging level ########
# (debugging only, not in the Preferences dialog)
# A bitmask of glib log levels:
# G_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR = 4
# G_LOG_LEVEL_CRITICAL = 8
# G_LOG_LEVEL_WARNING = 16
# G_LOG_LEVEL_MESSAGE = 32
# G_LOG_LEVEL_INFO = 64
# G_LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG = 128
console.log.level: 28
This enables the g_log functions to print to the console (not to a log
file). If you're on Windows, make sure to enable the console window in
the Preferences (under the Edit menu). You can see it is set to 28 by
default; that is the sum of the values of G_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR, _CRITICAL
and _WARNING.
