Disable trace logging for tracer package for ElasticSearch Java Rest Client

I am doing a bulk indexing operation through ElasticSearch 6.3 Java Rest Client.

Data is getting indexed correctly however restclient is printing extensive logs in the file. see below:

2018-08-14 16:25:42,614 DEBUG [User=] [tracer] curl -iX POST 'http://1.2.3.4:9202/_bulk?timeout=1m' -d '{"create":{"_index":"ms","_type":"doc","_id":"24218000","version":-4}}
{"create":{"_index":"ms","_type":"doc","_id":"24217999","version":-4}}
{"data":"test","year":2018,"corrid":"24217999","mode":"USPS","emailaddress":"","mimeType":"application/octet-stream","title":"some title","type":"app","maildate":"2018-01-02","code":"abx","direction":"out","quarter":0,"no":"222876"}
{"create":{"_index":"ms","_type":"doc","_id":"24218345","version":-4

How can I disable or limit this?

This document talks about a little bit, but does not give enough information about it clearly.

Solution

  • I agree that their documentation is vague.

    It sounds like you have an entry like

    <logger name="tracer" level="TRACE" additivity="false">
  <appender-ref ref="CONSOLE" />
</logger>

    or

    tracer.level=TRACE

    somewhere in commons-logging configuration being imported. At the very least, I think you can set the level to WARN or ERROR to quiet the chatter.

    As xeraa mentioned, you may also have logger levels set too high for org.elasticsearch.client, org.elasticsearch.client.RestClient, org.elasticsearch.client.sniffer, etc.
