[12:27:29 CDT(-0500)] <jwennmacher> Question for the group. I'm working on UP-3569 (set log file variables such as log dir and logging level in a centralized place to apply to uportal and portlet logging). What should the default logging level be? One suggestion was WARN to reduce log file sizes by default for production. jasig uportal best practices https://wiki.jasig.org/display/UPC/Logging+Best+Practices suggests using INFO for messages a deployer or ad
[12:32:12 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> regarding jwennmacher 's question – I've seen recent reports to the effect that dialing-down the logs to WARN for uP and all portlets made a significant improvement on performance... to me it seems sensible to set the defaults in a way that would lead folks to deploy it that way if they don't look at the issue specifically
[12:32:55 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> jwennmacher is also setting up maven filters for log settings, so it's also the case that managing log level in a per-environment way, across all portlets, will become easier
[12:33:28 CDT(-0500)] <athena> agreed that we probably want to default to something production-ready
[12:33:39 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> so perhaps we could set examples like filters/prod.properties = WARN, but filters/local.properties = DEBUG
[12:33:52 CDT(-0500)] <athena> yeah, that would be reasonable
[12:34:11 CDT(-0500)] <athena> and either way we should add inline documentation for that property
[12:34:14 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> and probably we should update the wiki page accordingly
[12:34:21 CDT(-0500)] <athena> yes, that too
[12:34:25 CDT(-0500)] <drewwills> that too
