David Leangen commented on JAMES-3251:
--------------------------------------

After a bit of struggle (and a few small issues outstanding), I took a crude 
approach in order to resolve this issue:
 # Reduced all logging to the "Operator's Console" for now (since almost all is 
not useful anyway)
 ## Excludes those entries (in the comment above) that are rogue
 # Logging to a rolling file appender for diagnostics (in case something goes 
wrong)

I included plenty of comments in the configuration file in case a curious 
Operators decides to look at it. I think it should be ok. (Will attach to this 
issue.)

Next steps:
 # Determine from a top-down level (instead of combing through the existing 
logs) what types of entries would be useful for an Operator
 # If they exist, ensure that they are included in the CONSOLE appender
 # If they don't exist or don't express the information well, file issues to 
get those entries included / updated

It may be a good idea to actually go through the DEBUG logs to determine if the 
system is actually running well. :)

I have updated only in the sandbox for now. I do not yet know how the Basic 
Server will be included in the main code base (if at all??).

Even though this has not yet been included in the codebase, I am resolving this 
issue.

> In the context of the *Basic Server*, based on the principle that the 
> Operator does not know (and does not need to know) the internals of the 
> system:
>  # Reduce the Operator's log output to the absolute minimum (in one way or 
> another)
>  # Ensure that any output is useful and actionable in the Basic context
>  # Consider what to do with regard to diagnostic information that, in the 
> case of a problem, would allow experienced James Developers to assist when 
> necessary
> This issue focuses only on point #1 in the above list. Once that is 
> completed, we should consider the other two points.
