Changing log levels

The logging framework for SDFS is updated to log4j2. For SDFS 7.4.1 and later releases, changing the log levels using the volume.xml is not effective. You have to update the /etc/sdfs/log4j2.xml file.

To change the log level:

  • Edit the /etc/sdfs/log4j2.xml file.

  • Go to the Loggers section.

  • Search for Logger name="sdfs"

  • Set the level to an appropriate parameter.

For example:

<Loggers>
<Logger name="sdfs" additivity="false" level="debug">
<appender-ref ref="sdfsLog" />

The following log levels are available:

  • trace

  • debug

  • info

  • warn

  • error

  • fatal

You can find more details about the log42.xml parameters at https://logging.apache.org/log4j/log4j-2.2/manual/configuration.html.
