Here is the problem I see. You view the Jira issue as a simple question. I 
agree simple questions do not belong in Jira. However, this was marked as a bug 
report because they are having problems getting logs into Splunk. I don’t view 
this as a simple question but as a request to solve their problem, either 
through a pointer to documentation or a change to the code. The person posing 
the question just wasn’t explicit about that.

I see this as quite a bit different then “How do I configure logging so it will 
print events for x and not y?”. So while I may agree with your premise, I don’t 
agree with how it was applied to this issue.
