knowledgebase/linux/java/jboss notes 1 JBoss Too Noisy? JBoss logging too many DEBUG or INFO messages? You'd think you could just change the log4j xml file in /usr/local/jboss/server/default/conf. But this has no effect. Rather, in /usr/local/jboss/bin/run.sh there may be a: # Setup JBoss sepecific properties JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dprogram.name=$PROGNAME -Dlog4j.configuration=file:./log4j.properties" Change properties to info from debug That forces it to use the desired log4j configuration. If that file is not there, try: {code} for file in $(find /usr/local/jboss -name log4j.xml); do replace 'value="DEBUG"' 'value="ERROR"' -- $file replace 'value="WARN"' 'value="ERROR"' -- $file replace 'value="INFO"' 'value="ERROR"' -- $file replace 'value="TRACE"' 'value="ERROR"' -- $file done {code} And change the priority in the 'root' /usr/local/jboss/server/default/conf/log4j.xml element to: {code} <root> <priority value ="warn" /> <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE"/> <appender-ref ref="FILE"/> </root> {code} 2006-12-04 19:26:38.0 2006-06-08 20:42:05.0
