Hi, Im writing a plugin and in the rest action Im trying to log an info with: logger.info("binary data"); but the function is totally ignored, I can not see it nor in the log file nor in the stout. Do I have to configure the config yml or something like that? Cheers -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

No but probably something to change in logging.yml as your package probably does not start with org.elasticsearch ## HTH David 😉 Twitter : @dadoonet / @elasticsearchfr / @scrutmydocs Le 5 mai 2013 à 13:08, David G Ortega [g.ortega.david@gmail.com](mailto:g.ortega.david@gmail.com) a écrit : > Hi, > > Im writing a plugin and in the rest action Im trying to log an info with: > > logger.info("binary data"); > > but the function is totally ignored, I can not see it nor in the log file nor in the stout. > > Do I have to configure the config yml or something like that? > > ## Cheers > > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to [elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com](mailto:elasticsearch+unsubscribe@googlegroups.com). > For more options, visit [https://groups.google.com/groups/opt\_out](https://groups.google.com/groups/opt_out). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.

I am trying to enable plugin logging as well however with no luck with the following configuration in logging.yml es.logger.level: INFO rootLogger: ${es.logger.level}, console, file logger: action: DEBUG com.amazonaws: WARN com.mypackage: DEBUG, plugins\_log\_file index.search.slowlog: DEBUG, index\_search\_slow\_log\_file index.indexing.slowlog: DEBUG, index\_indexing\_slow\_log\_file additivity: index.search.slowlog: false index.indexing.slowlog: false appender: console: type: console layout: type: consolePattern conversionPattern: "[%d{ISO8601}][%-5p][%-25c] %m%n" plugins\_log\_file: type: dailyRollingFile file: ${path.logs}/${cluster.name}\_plugins.log datePattern: "'.'yyyy-MM-dd" layout: type: pattern conversionPattern: "[%d{ISO8601}][%-5p][%-25c] %m%n" I have seen the \_plugins.log successfully created in the log folder however nothing is printed there even i include the top level package in the configuration.
