How to turn off Dozer logging entries in log4j2?

Question

How to turn off Dozer logging entries in log4j2 ? Using Java 1.8, Dozer version: 6.4.1, Logger version 2.11.2 on Windows 7 pom.xml config :

   <groupId>com.github.dozermapper</groupId>
   <artifactId>dozer-core</artifactId>

Every time I load a web page or run a JUnit tests Dozer logs 100s of lines of logging messages which makes the application bit slow. Tried following configuration in log4j2.xml to turn off Dozer messages but it doesn't turn off Dozer INFO messages.

    <Configuration

Any suggestions as how to turn off Dozer logging messages? Thanks.

You can use logger for suppressing logs from a package and its subpackages. Under Loggers element, try adding below configuration -

        <Logger name="com.github.dozermapper" level="OFF" additivity="false">
            <AppenderRef ref="STDOUT" />
            <AppenderRef ref="FILE" />
        </Logger>

I tried that `Loggers` before to supress logs but it's not working. Dozer keeps continuing to log the same amount of INFO entries. Between Dozer is using SLF4J framework. does that make any difference ? – techStack Oct 30 '20 at 17:39
Using logger to suppress unnecessary logs is an standard approach. Also, slf4j is just a wrapper. As per current configuration, dozer debug logs must be getting printed as well – Vikas Sachdeva Oct 30 '20 at 18:12
Ah, am I doing something wrong ? I just want to turn OFF all Dozer logging entries, as it is causing the application slow to load with it's huge amount logging entries and all are INFO entries. I tried other SO answers like this one https://stackoverflow.com/q/27148614/10208183, but none of them working. – techStack Oct 30 '20 at 18:26
can you add generate logs as well in your question. One more thing, try setting `level="WARN"` for the `root` logger and then see whether dozer logs are still getting printed or not. – Vikas Sachdeva Oct 31 '20 at 05:51
Hi, Dozer keeps logging the same amount of INFO entries even with `level=WARN` for the `root` logger. I've updated the question with Dozer log entries. – techStack Oct 31 '20 at 08:28

It seems your application is not using this log4j2 configuration because the printed logs content is different than the pattern specified in appenders. – Vikas Sachdeva Oct 31 '20 at 14:03
Also, once you set root logger level to WARN, no INFO logs should be printed as no other logger is configured in your config file. – Vikas Sachdeva Oct 31 '20 at 14:05
When I set logger level to `WARN` all of my Application's `DEBUG` and `INFO` messages are not printed, but only Dozer `INFO` messages are printed and that's what the problem is. – techStack Nov 02 '20 at 06:18
it seems some other logging library is present in your application classpath. Can you check that or update dependencies listed in pom.xml in your question. – Vikas Sachdeva Nov 02 '20 at 09:48
No, using only log4j2. Updated question with pom. – techStack Nov 02 '20 at 14:49
