Hi Artur, That’s a good point.
One thing you can do is log a summary at WARN level, like “27 configurations were ignored. Ignored configurations are logged at DEBUG level.” I looked into the code a little, and these log messages are generated in AbstractConfig (logAll and logUnused). They both use the logger associated with the relevant config class (StreamsConfig, ProducerConfig, etc.). The list of all configs is logged at INFO level, and the list of unused configs is logged at WARN level. This means that it's not possible to silence the unused config messages while still logging the list of all configs. You could only silence both by setting (for example) ProducerConfig logger to ERROR or OFF. If it's desirable to be able to toggle them independently, then you can create a separate logger for unused configs, named something like "org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.ProducerConfig.unused". Then, you can leave the log at WARN, so it would continue to be printed by default, and anyone could disable it by setting "org.apache.kafka.clients.producer.ProducerConfig.unused" to ERROR or OFF, without disturbing the rest of the config log messages. It's simpler without the extra logger, but you also get less control. Do you think the extra control is necessary, versus printing a summary at WARN level? -John On Fri, Dec 27, 2019, at 04:26, Artur Burtsev wrote: > Hi, > > Indeed changing log level to debug would be the easiest and I think > that would be a good solution.
