Doug Grove commented on AS7-2318:
---------------------------------

Thanks for that, it is a better description.  So we have the situation described, literally every day, in GSS.  "Logging isn't working".  And we know to tell the customer that the threshold is set to INFO and it needs to be lowered.

We also have the case where in normal operation the customer will set the threshold to WARN.  They don't care about INFO logging and want the log files to be concise.  When they have a problem, they will then set the threshold to something lower.

In either case, a visual indication on the web console for the "active" (for want of a better word) loggers would be useful.

> If the root logger is set to info, it will grab all of the log messages and not allow for a debug logging later on in the hierarchy.  This is a support issue as they often have users turn on more logging, but the user has not "turned off" the root logger so it is not able to grab any debug messages.
