I saw previous post about this
topic: [https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!searchin/elasticsearch/documentalreadyexists/elasticsearch/hEsowZS0zJ4/anFBJaT6rXkJ](https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!searchin/elasticsearch/documentalreadyexists/elasticsearch/hEsowZS0zJ4/anFBJaT6rXkJ)
But I am seeing differently formatted log messages:
[999]: index [errors\_log20130227], type [default], id [1361989081], message
[DocumentAlreadyExistsException[[errors\_log20130227][0]
[default][1361989081]: document already exists]]
How can I turn off this logging?
FYI, the following is logging.yml file I am using
rootLogger: INFO, filelogger:
# log action execution errors for easier debugging # gateway
index.gateway: INFO
# peer shard recovery indices.recovery: INFO
# discovery discovery: INFO
index.search.slowlog: INFO, index\_search\_slow\_log\_file
index.merge: INFOadditivity:
index.search.slowlog: falseappender:

conversionPattern: "[%d{ISO8601}][%-5p][%-25c] %m%n"
index\_search\_slow\_log\_file:
