How to set the default log level?

[stayknight]

I have some log4js config like this:
var config = { appenders:[ { type:"console" }, { type: "file", filename: "file.log", maxLogSize: 20480, backups: 10 } ], replaceConsole: true, levels: {} }
and used as :
var logger = log4js.getLogger();

It works fine with logs output to console and file.log. The log content from console.log() is replaced with log4js style with log level 'INFO' as I learned. But when I call logger.setLevel('ERROR'); immedidately after calling getLogger(), the logs from console.log() are still present, both in the console and file.log. Shouldn't they disapprear after I restart the application?

you added "replaceConsole:true" to the configuration...

this replaces the default console.log function to send the message to log.info, which as defined by your configuration, is appended to "console" and to "file"

I fail to see how its not doing exactly what you specified in the configuration... which is when you call console.log it sends to both.

A better question is what are you expecting to see here?

@ericnewton76 thanks for your kind reply. I‘ve updated the question to make it clear. I'm now still stucking on that problem.

Hi @pallover - sorry the extremely late reply. If you're still having problems with this, let me know - otherwise could you close this issue, please?

Closing this one, as it seems to have been some confusion over how the loggers work. Please re-open if you still need help (I promise to respond sooner than 6 months later this time).
