Volkan Yazici reassigned LOG4J2-3020:
-------------------------------------
Assignee: Volkan Yazici
> Logger.catching(Throwable) does not document level it is logging at
> -------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: LOG4J2-3020
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LOG4J2-3020
> Project: Log4j 2
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 2.14.0
> Reporter: Marcono1234
> Assignee: Volkan Yazici
> Priority: Major
>
> The
> [documentation|https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/log4j-api/apidocs/org/apache/logging/log4j/Logger.html#catching-java.lang.Throwable-]
> of the method {{Logger.catching(Throwable)}} is not mentioning at which
> level it is logging at.
> It appears {{AbstractLogger}} is logging at level {{ERROR}}, but without it
> being explicitly mentioned, I think expecting it to be logged at {{DEBUG}}
> might also be a reasonable expectation.
> It would therefore be good to explicitly mention the log level in the
> documentation.
> ----
> As a side note: Personally I think the use case described by the {{catching}}
> documentation rather sounds like it should be logged at {{DEBUG}}:
> {quote}
> In other cases where simply logging the fact that an exception was swallowed
> somewhere
> {quote}
> To me that sounds like ignoring exceptions such as timeout exceptions and
> retrying an operation.
