Hello World!

I'm trying to:

> **[Configure Kibana | Kibana Guide \[7.17\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.17/settings.html#settings)**
>
> A reference of the reporting settings administrators configure in kibana.yml.

to be more precise:

> `logging.quiet`  
> [7.13.0] Deprecated in 7.13.0. This setting will be removed in Kibana 8.0.Instead, set the root logger `level` to `error`.  
> Set the value of this setting to `true` to suppress all logging output other than error messages. **Default: `false`**

yet even though "root" level is set to "error", I still seeing every `{"type":"response",...`

Please advise)  
Thank you in advance!

Hi @alexus

I just put in the following and it stopped all logging except `error`.

`logging.root.level : error`

If this does not work for you Please share your `kibana.yml` in full / properly formatted.

Thank you for looking into my topic,

I'm using exactly same thing as you:

```auto
# grep LOGGING_ROOT_LEVEL docker-compose.override.yml
      LOGGING_ROOT_LEVEL: "error"
#

```

I do see less output, however still seeing these in logs:

```auto
# docker-compose logs --tail 1

Interesting I am seeing the same thing with docker compose... checking a bit internally  
still seeing all the `[INFO]` logs

I did check but did not get anything yet but try this... worked for me saw this [here](https://docs.docker.com/compose/environment-variables/)

Seems to work for me tested with `info` and `error` worked as expected

```auto
  kibana:
    image: docker.elastic.co/kibana/kibana:${TAG}
    container_name: kib01
    environment: ['LOGGING_ROOT_LEVEL="error"', 'XPACK_APM_SERVICEMAPENABLED="true"', 'XPACK_ENCRYPTEDSAVEDOBJECTS_ENCRYPTIONKEY="d1a66dfd-c4d3-4a0a-8290-2abcb83ab3aa"']

```
