**src/main/resources/log4j2.xml**

```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Configuration status="info" monitorInterval="60">
	<Appenders>
		<Console name="Console" target="SYSTEM_OUT">
			<PatternLayout pattern="%d{HH:mm:ss.SSS} [%-5level] %C{1.} - %msg%n" />
		</Console>
	</Appenders>
	<Loggers>
        <Logger name="org.elasticsearch" level="warn"/>
        <Logger name="org.apache" level="warn" />
	     <Root level="info">
		    <AppenderRef ref="Console" />
	     </Root>
	</Loggers>
</Configuration>

```

**Console output**

Despite setting log level to warn/error, I keep getting these DEBUG messages. This is impacting the performance. This log4j2.xml is corrected loaded as my Class logger that uses it works fine.
