Which logger is used for DVCS events in Jira?

[Mike Rathwell]

I have a Github connection on my Jira instance and it's writing an INFO entry in the logs every time there is a commit (and there are a lot of them). Does anyone know which of the default loggers is used for that connection? I'd like to turn it back to at least WARN to stop filling my logs

Hi Mike,

com.atlassian.jira.plugins.dvcs is the one you're looking for.

@Josh Steckler, I don't see that one in the "Default Loggers" section. Might I need to do the "Configure logging level for another package" thing to get it visible and then set the level?

Yes, that'll add it to the list for your current session of Jira. But once you restart it'll return to its previous state.

To make this permanent, you can add 'com.atlassian.jira.plugins.dvcs' to your log4j.properties file

The file is located at <installdir>/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/log4j.properties

Yup... that was the ticket. I'll add that change to the properties file when I build the next version's Docker image so it'll be there from that day forward
