Convert boot.log to INFO
------------------------

                 Key: JBAS-7646
                 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-7646
             Project: JBoss Application Server
          Issue Type: Task
      Security Level: Public (Everyone can see)
          Components: Logging
            Reporter: Brian Stansberry
            Assignee: David Lloyd
             Fix For: JBossAS-6.0.0.M2


With the admin-console installed, the boot.log file is > 20MB in size in the "default" profile. It was 7-10MB before, which was still way too big

I'm going to change the default value for the root logger to INFO. This saves several seconds in boot time.

The downside to this is boot.log will lose the DEBUG level system properties dump from org.jboss.system.server.ServerInfo. That's useful info for support. We could change that to INFO, but then it will show up in the console, where it is overly verbose. So, I'm going to add a category configuration to logging.properties:

# Allow debug logging from ServerInfo to get the system properties dump
logger.org.jboss.system.server.ServerInfo.level=${jboss.boot.server.log.serverinfo.level:DEBUG}

The threshold for the console handler is INFO so that won't appear in console. The handler for boot.log allows DEBUG, so it will appear there.

For details on how all this is configured, see http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-10235
