Given a snippet of a log file like this I'm wondering if there is documentation for all the various possible values for the second and third columns (eg. INFO and plugins) [2015-12-30 18:33:14,176][INFO][plugins] [[myserver.mycompany.com](http://myserver.mycompany.com)] loaded [analysis-icu, marvel, action-updatebyquery], sites [marvel] [2015-12-30 18:33:15,861][INFO][node] [[myserver.mycompany.com](http://myserver.mycompany.com)] initialized [2015-12-30 18:33:15,861][INFO][node] [[myserver.mycompany.com](http://myserver.mycompany.com)] starting ...

`[INFO]` and its ilk are log4j2 [levels](https://logging.apache.org/log4j/2.x/log4j-api/apidocs/org/apache/logging/log4j/Level.html). `[plugins]`, `[node]`, etc are all package names of Elasticsearch's internals. You could get a list from the source but it wouldn't be stable. ---
