How to set Atomikos to not write to console logs?

Question

Atomikos is quite verbose when used. There seems to be lots of INFO messages (mostly irrelevant for me) that the transaction manager writes out to the console. The setting in the transaction.properties that is suppose to control the level of messaging com.atomikos.icatch.console_log_level does not seem to have any effect, since even when set to WARN (or ERROR) the INFO messages are still logged. Also the log4j settings for com.atomikos and atomikos seem to be ignored. Does anyone manage to turn off the INFO logs on the console with Atomikos?. How? Thanks

Answer 1

I've figured out a way to do that. It is actually very simple since Atomikos uses a centralize class to do the logging called com.atomikos.icatch.system.Configuration. Logging is actually performed with implementations of com.atomikos.diagnostics.Console so all I had to do is to un-register all default consoles and register my own implementation that's based on commons logging

Hi,

Your fix could work, but the easier thing would be to configure SLF4J/Log4J to NOT log INFO level comments for com.atomikos.*
