Hi, Just wanted to sum up proposed solutions and introduce new one:
1) Implemented default logger level change from ERROR to WARN (disliked by Ralph and Gary) 2) logging an ERROR instead when JSON or YAML configuration is found but dependencies are missing (proposed by Ralph) and thought of sth similar to no.2 but with introducing custom level below ERROR at 150 (like "INIT_EVENT" or so). Do not know the code well enough if it can be done without breaking something, but just the idea. Łukasz. On 2023/07/26 10:14:00 "Piotr P.
