########## File path: flink-runtime/src/main/java/org/apache/flink/runtime/metrics/MetricRegistryImpl.java ########## @@ -426,7 +426,12 @@ public void run() { try { reporter.report(); } catch (Throwable t) { - LOG.warn("Error while reporting metrics", t); + if (LOG.isDebugEnabled()) { + LOG.debug("Error while reporting metrics {}", t); + } + else { + LOG.warn("Error while reporting metrics", t.getMessage()); Review comment: We already log it as a warning and not as an error due to that reasoning. I think we're a bit naive when it comes to reporting errors in the metric system. Our argument is "it's _just_ tooling", but any Flink deployment that is important for the business-logic will be monitored, and issues in the metric system should be highlighted in some way accordingly. ---------------------------------------------------------------- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
