Thank you, Mark.

I agree changing the log level to error could cause problems you mentioned.
But option like logHandshakeFailuresAtError will be useful to 
troubleshooting/debugging assuming DoS attacks are handled differently.

If the purpose of this is debugging / troubleshooting they why not just enable debug logging when needed?

Why does this need to be separately configurable?

Thinking if this could be a connector level attribute or attribute at SSL host config 
level in "server.xml".

Thanks,
Amit

Hello,

First, thank you to Mark for adding the access logs in case of SSL handshake failures 
(https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fapache%2Ftomcat%2Fcommit%2Facf6076d7118571ebc881984b96792f861b72bb2%23&amp;data=05%7C01%7CAmit.Pande%40veritas.com%7Cc90c525c37304f89d53e08da4586d120%7Cfc8e13c0422c4c55b3eaca318e6cac32%7C0%7C0%7C637898742608266230%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=eVNkn8ZtEi6l1IZ5N8tdmVZ%2B0xj%2FeOFC7G2YdBQxZ0Y%3D&amp;reserved=0).
 Really useful enhancement.

On a related note, I am trying to understand if we can log the SSL handshake 
failure at ERROR level instead of current DEBUG level.

if (log.isDebugEnabled()) {
log.debug(sm.getString("endpoint.err.handshake"), x); }

Are there any issues logging this at error level?

Yes. We generally don't log user triggerable exceptions above debug level as 
that can expose the server to a potential DoS - either by filling the disk with 
log messages or the performance impact of triggering the exceptions.

I guess we could make the log level for that message configurable.
logHandshakeFailuresAtError or something.
