Logging config is addressed in the [Logstash Logging docs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/logging.html).

Global log level is set in the `config/logstash.yml` using the [`log.level` setting](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/logstash-settings-file.html).

You can configure a _specific_ logger to an alternate level by adding the following to your `config/log4j2.properties` and restarting the Logstash process:

```auto
logger.jvminstrument.name = logstash.instrument.periodicpoller.jvm
logger.jvminstrument.level = info

```

If you need to modify a running process without restarting it, you can apply these temporarily using the logging API:

```auto
curl -XPUT 'localhost:9600/_node/logging?pretty' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d'
{
    "logstash.instrument.periodicpoller.jvm" : "INFO"
}
'

```
