Aha,
Now it all makes sense… I did manage to break the logger altogether, which had the same effect as switching it off: I changed the line below to read: log4j.rootLogger = OFF in the properties file, and it stopped logging – at least, apart from logging an error about the logger not being configured properly…. J Same net result, and no harm done, since it’s a test sandbox. Thanks for the feedback, guys – much appreciated. If I have anything useful to contribute once I am finished, I’ll mail it.

You can do this to raise the log level for the spring authentication, try something like this in your log4j.properties: springframework.security.web.authentication = ERROR Lars On Thu, Mar 10, 2016 at 3:29 PM, Bob Jolliffe <bobjolli...@gmail.com> wrote: Not daft (well not completely daft). You cannot change the default logging configuration. It is set programmatically in java. Your option is to create a custom log4j configuration as per the documentation. In production you might want to do this anyway, rather than rely on the baked in configuration. Some time ago I produced a log4j configuration file which mimiced the behaviour of the hard coded configuration but I lost it - I know, I should have committed it somewhere but I didn't. Now I will (eventually) have to do it again. (An alternative future approach might be to allow some of these things to be fine tuned in the settings through the ui but this is currently not possible) On 10 March 2016 at 14:21, Jason Phillips <ja...@hisp.org> wrote: Hi Lars, Yep – and unless I’ve dropped a few IQ points, I can’t see where it tell you how to adjust the logging levels. It explains the extra logging I referred to, but doesn’t tell me how to change anything in the default logging, unless I am being daft? I don’t want to use log4j, or anything else; I just want to stop the thing from logging authentications… Am I being daft?

I have tried editing logging.properties in [BASE]/conf, and turning off logging (and various other attempts at different levels, such as SEVERE, WARNING, etc) using the folling settings: ------------------------ 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.level = OFF 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.directory = ${catalina.base}/logs 1catalina.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.prefix = catalina. 2localhost.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.level = OFF 2localhost.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.directory = ${catalina.base}/logs 2localhost.org.apache.juli.FileHandler.prefix = localhost. java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = OFF java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.formatter = java.util.logging.SimpleFormatter … org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].level = OFF org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[Catalina].[localhost].handlers = 2localhost.org.apache.juli.FileHandler ------------------------ And still no joy – DHIS2 logs away, regardless. I have set the levels to alternating variants of SEVERE, FINE, FINEST, WARNING and others to no discernible effect. Any info would be most appreciated. Also, while on the subject, I notice that logging duplication appears to be happening in the [BASE]/conf/logs folder, albeit separated into different files based on function/origin. Are those logs affected by the same settings/properties, and how does one manipulate their levels, in addition to or separately from, the standard catalina.out?
