Do you want to turn off all debugging? If so, then there are two possibilities. You only need to do one of them, not both. 1) Add a threshold to the FILE appender: | <appender name="FILE" class="org.jboss.logging.appender.DailyRollingFileAppender"> | . . . | <param name="Threshold" value="${jboss.server.log.threshold}"/> | . . . 2) Add a priority to the root: <root> | <priority value="INFO"/> | <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/> | <appender-ref ref="FILE"/> | </root> By the way, the FILE appender uses a rolling daily appender so each day you should get a new log file - why not simply have a cron script that runs every day and deletes all log files more than X days old?
