What is the pattern you're using for the handlers? The default uses %c (lowercase) is for the category and %C (uppercase) is for the class name. It looks like you might be using the later. Also the class name is more expensive to use as it needs to calculate which class it is each time the record is used.

Anyway... ...I'm not too sure why your logs would be so big. What you might want to is find the categories that are the most verbose and change those to WARN or ERROR.


/me makes note to document the patterns

Hi guys,

[[I crawled the archive a bit, and wrote here as jboss-as-dev seems inactive. If it's the wrong list here to talk about an old version of jboss/wildfly, just let me know.]]

I was recently trying to customize the output of JBoss 7 (EAP6.1) in our development environment. 
We're currently seeing what IMO is far too many logs at the beginning of the server (about 3.5k lines, and too many logs kills the logs :-)).

We'd like to configure the root-logger at ERROR level, and redefine our root package at just WARN.
Then, we particularly want to keep two INFO logs from JBoss: starting/finished starting[error or not].

15:47:29,652 INFO  [org.jboss.as.server.ApplicationServerService] [-][] (MSC service thread 1-7) JBAS015899: JBoss EAP 6.1.1.GA (AS 7.2.1.Final-redhat-10) démarre
15:48:00,789 INFO  [org.jboss.as.server.BootstrapListener] [-][] (Controller Boot Thread) JBAS015874: JBoss EAP 6.1.1.GA (AS 7.2.1.Final-redhat-10) a démarré en 32035ms - 5898 sur 6139 services ont démarré (229 services sont passifs ou à la demande)

To achieve that, someone previously configured org.jboss.as logger at the INFO level. BUT, as this is a parent package of almost anything in the server, this seems to activate a lot of other logs (some from org.jboss.as.clustering.foo, org.jboss.as.naming.bar to name a few).

So, I naively first tried configuring the FQN being displayed org.jboss.as.server.ApplicationServerService and org.jboss.as.server.BootstrapListener, and realized this did not change anything.

After a quick look in the code, I saw that loggers in jboss/wildfly actually don't seem to use the class the logs are being emitted from as often elsewhere, but some specially Logger instances defined in some central class (like https://github.com/wildfly/wildfly/blob/7.1/server/src/main/java/org/jboss/as/server/ServerLogger.java for example).

ApplicationServerService [1] and BootstrapListener[2], for instance, actually log the server through the ServerLogger.AS_ROOT_LOGGER[3] instance.

And AS_ROOT_LOGGER is "bound" to org.jboss.as... I'm stuck. I have to activate org.jboss.as to see the starting logs, but at the same time enabling other logs.
Btw, why do those logs get sent through ServerLogger.AS_ROOT_LOGGER (org.jboss.as) instead of ServerLogger.ROOT_LOGGER (org.jboss.as.server)? Was it actually made on purpose?

A possible solution I see might be to redefine some org.jboss.as.foo package at a higher level than INFO in my standalone.xml, but this seems a bit cumbersome.

Did I understand how logging inside as/wildfly work correctly? Do you see another way to achieve what I say above?

Thanks a lot for any hint.
