> For me, the INFO level should be reserved for mandatory lifecycle information that the user should see under normal circumstances. The DEBUG level should be used for lifecycle information that the user should see while debugging. I agree on the classification, although probably we differ in the definition on what constitutes mandatory lifecycle information. For me this information is important: ``` Configuration XmlConfiguration[location=… , lastModified=…] started. Configuration org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.DefaultConfiguration@… stopped. ``` This information is less important: ``` Starting configuration XmlConfiguration[location=… , lastModified=…]... Start watching for changes to … every 0 seconds Stopping configuration org.apache.logging.log4j.core.config.DefaultConfiguration@… ``` Do you suggest to switch the 3 statements above to `DEBUG`? > Now, in order to suppress these extra messages, users are likely to turn off status logging at the INFO level, preventing them from seeing more useful information. (See [apache/accumulo#5457](https://github.com/apache/accumulo/pull/5457)) I honestly don't know what useful information you are referring to. IIRC the `INFO` level was mostly unused. Do you have any examples? Important information like log file rollovers are currently at `DEBUG` level. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
