Chia-Ping Tsai created KAFKA-18831: -------------------------------------- Summary: Document the behavior changes of adjusting logger level after migrating to log4j2 Key: KAFKA-18831 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-18831 Project: Kafka Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Chia-Ping Tsai Assignee: Chia-Ping Tsai Fix For: 4.0.0
There are two behavior changes introduced by log4j 2 1) in log4j 1, users can't change the logger by parent if the logger is declared by properties explicitly. For example, `org.apache.kafka.controller` has level explicitly in the properties. Hence, we can't use "org.apache.kafka=INFO" to change the level of `org.apache.kafka.controller` to INFO. By contrast, log4j2 allows us to change all child loggers by the parent logger. 2) in log4j2, we can change the level of root to impact all loggers' level. By contrast, log4j 1 can't. -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
