Although this makes the life easier by eliminating the log4j.properties modifications, still, one has to restart the server to see debug logs. It would have been great to have a simple remote API to make these changes on a running server.
BTW this is a useful improvement; but, you need to think about a better name than "synapseDebug" to reflect the purpose of this setting. To me, synapseDebug implies that the whole server will be in debug mode and can be connected through an IDE. What about more descriptive and generic name like this *-synapse.mediator.log.level.debug* that can be used to change the log of the level of log mediator without limiting to debug only? Thanks!
