isDebugEnabled() returning false when debug enabled through env var

[asmith-r7]

I have several sections in my debug wrapped in the logger.isDebugEnabled()
What I noticed is that setting the log level to debug through the env var LOG_LEVEL causes these log lines not to appear. This seems like a bug to me.

Expected Behavior

isDebugEnabled should return true.

Current Behavior

Possible Solution

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

1. Configure logging via config to be INFO
2. Override to DEBUG via LOG_LEVEL env var

Environment

• Powertools version used:
• Packaging format (Layers, Maven/Gradle):
• AWS Lambda function runtime:
• Debugging logs

Thanks @asmith-r7 For reporting the issue. I did some digging and Can see that the LOG_LEVEL env variable gets overridden by system property back to INFO.

Which means that either we will have to find another name for our environment variable to be something like POWERTOOLS_LOG_LEVEL instead. Something like this

or we will have to support it via java tool options via

JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -DLOG_LEVEL=DEBUG.

In terms of user experience, I believe having a different environment variable names is better than the later.
