Log4j - filtering out logs for current project only

Have log4j.properties file, that logs more than I expect,in particular, it logs events for Spring libraries.

And it's needed only project specific e开发者_JAVA百科vents to be filtered.

Is it some filtering param,that specify what classes(project or namespace) should be logged?

Thank you.

Yes, create a logger entry that uses the name of your package.

log4j.logger.com.my.package=INFO

Set your appender to a more verbose setting and set the root appender to a higher level like ERROR or WARN.

log4j.rootLogger=ERROR, stdout

See this post: Log4j | Updating the Log Level for the Appender

From the log4j manual:

# Print only messages of level WARN or above in the package com.foo.
log4j.logger.com.foo=WARN

Replace com.foo with the one that want to be ignored and set the logging level to some high value like WARN or ERROR.

I found another way of doing this.

I was having issues that when I was using level DEBUG or higher, the libs I used in my project were making it to the console. It's better to properly configure your project, but you can get by just disabling the logger for a specific package.

In the snippet below, all packages that start with org.* were disabled. Did the job for me. Found this at the manual: http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/manual.html

log4j.rootLogger=INFO, stdout

# Disables logger for all org.* packages
log4j.logger.org=OFF
