i suppose it depends on how you are running things. can you state exactly how you running the service?

Not sure what you mean with "running things". Do you need a specific config?
The podman setup is on debian Trixie, hence version 5.4.2. It is the standard install in debian, with the podman socket service running for the root account.
I am trying gow/wolf setup of remote virtual desktops. The logging i posted appears, when wolf spins up application containers.

If you need anything else, let me know.
Mainly I would be looking for a config to change logging behaviour? Is there anything available to do that?

Sadly not. I turned off logging to journal for now, as it swamps all other logs on the server. Not a production workaround though.

see systemctl cat podman.service or systemctl --user cat podman.service (when running rootless)

That show the service sets --log-level=info, if you want lets logs set it to warning or error with systemctl [--user] edit podman.service
