To update the logging configuration in your application to avoid displaying info and debug logs in the console, you can modify the logback.xml or logback-spring.xml file. This configuration file allows you to control various aspects of logging, including log levels and log destinations. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:
1. Locate Your Logging Configuration File:
First, you need to find the configuration file responsible for your application’s logging. In many Java-based applications, especially those built with Spring or Micronaut, the default logging configuration file is usually named logback.xml
. Sometimes, it’s named logback-spring.xml
.
2. Open the Configuration File:
Open the logback.xml
or logback-spring.xml
file in a text editor or IDE.
3. Find the Root Logger Configuration:
Inside the configuration file, locate the <root>
element. This element defines the default logging settings for your application. It typically looks like this:
<root level="error">
<!-- Define log destination, layout, etc. -->
</root>
4. Adjust the Log Level:
To avoid displaying info and debug logs in the console, you need to set the level
attribute of the <root>
element to a higher logging level. Common logging levels, from highest to lowest severity, are error
, warn
, info
, debug
, and trace
. To filter out info and debug logs, set the level
to error
or warn
. For example:
<root level="warn">
<!-- Define log destination, layout, etc. -->
</root>
5. Save the Configuration File:
Save the changes you made to the configuration file.
6. Restart Your Application:
After modifying the logging configuration, you usually need to restart your application for the changes to take effect.
With this configuration, your application will only log messages with a severity level of warn
, error
, or higher to the console. Info and debug messages will be omitted.
