How to set log level to debug?

[aamielsan]

I'm fairly new with logging with Java, and is using the out of the box configuration:

<configuration>
    <appender name="awslambda" class="org.jlib.cloud.aws.lambda.logback.AwsLambdaAppender">
        <encoder type="ch.qos.logback.classic.encoder.PatternLayoutEncoder">
            <pattern>[%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS}] &lt;%-36X{AWSRequestId:-request-id-not-set-by-lambda-runtime}&gt; %-5level %logger{10} - %msg%n</pattern>
        </encoder>
    </appender>

    <root level="INFO">
        <appender-ref ref="awslambda" />
    </root>
</configuration>

I want to change the log level to DEBUG, and tried changing root level to DEBUG:

<root level="DEBUG">
    <appender-ref ref="awslambda" />
</root>

It enabled the debug logs for AWS SDK's and not for my loggers:

import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory

class Foo() {
        private val logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Foo::class.java)
 }

How can I resolve this? Also, how can I prevent having a DEBUG log level to AWS SDKs?

Hi @aamiel16,

you can try putting your class into a package, e.g. com.example, then, all you need is:

<configuration>
    ...
    <logger name="com.example" level="INFO" />

    <root level="INFO">
        <appender-ref ref="awslambda" />
    </root>
    ...
</configuration>

You can find all details in the Logback documentation: http://logback.qos.ch/manual/configuration.html

Please let me know if it worked for you.
