Hi,

We've detected excesive lines shown on our ElasticSearch console (we've problems with RAM and millions of lines are generated in each search.

We want to desactivate logging in the console (and in the .log files). I've read the documentation about logging en ElasticSearch but I've not found the option to complete desactivate logging.

Another question... Wich are the levels of logging that can be set in `log4j2.properties` file?

Thanks 🙂
