How to silence journalctl entries

Issue description

Is it possible to silence journaling when get_state is called by mullvad-daemon? I have a script that reports the VPN status intermittently, and as a result journalctl is filled with entries of [mullvad_daemon::management_interface][DEBUG] get_state. Ideally, I'd like to silence the get_state call only. Or are these printouts all a result of debug mode? In any case, I'm unsure of how to silence either, though I tried removing the -v in the files below. Thank you!

File /opt/Mullvad\ VPN/resources/mullvad-daemon.service:

# Systemd service unit file for the Mullvad VPN daemon

[Unit]
Description=Mullvad VPN daemon
Wants=network.target
After=network-online.target
After=NetworkManager.service
After=systemd-resolved.service
StartLimitBurst=5
StartLimitIntervalSec=20

[Service]
Restart=always
RestartSec=1
ExecStart=/opt/Mullvad\x20VPN/resources/mullvad-daemon -v --disable-stdout-timestamps

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.targe

File /opt/Mullvad\ VPN/resources/mullvad-daemon.conf:

# Upstart job configuration file for the Mullvad VPN daemon

start on local-filesystems and net-device-up IFACE!=lo
respawn
chdir /opt/Mullvad\ VPN/resources
exec /opt/Mullvad\ VPN/resources/mullvad-daemon -v

Resolved here. Removing the debug flag -v from mullvad-daemon.service works. I probably needed to reload the daemon. There's also a --disable-log-to-file flag for further silencing.
