nodetool setlogginglevel

Set the log level for a service.

Synopsis

nodetool <options> setlogginglevel -- <class> <level>

Table 1. Options
Short	Long	Description
`-h`	`--host`	Hostname or IP address.
`-p`	`--port`	Port number.
`-pwf`	`--password-file`	Password file path.
`-pw`	`--password`	Password.
`-u`	`--username`	Remote JMX agent username.
`class`	The class for changing the level, a fully qualified domain name such as org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageProxy.
`level`	Logging level, for example DEBUG.
`--`	Separates an option from an argument that could be mistaken for a option.

Description

You can use this command to set logging levels for services instead of modifying the logback-text.xml file. The following values are valid for the logger class qualifier:

org.apache.cassandra
org.apache.cassandra.db
org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageProxy

The possible log levels are:

ALL
TRACE
DEBUG
INFO
WARN
ERROR
OFF

If both class qualifier and level arguments to the command are empty or null, the command resets logging to the initial configuration.

Example

This command sets the StorageProxy service to debug level.

nodetool setlogginglevel org.apache.cassandra.service.StorageProxy DEBUG

Note: Cassandra 3.0 and later support extended logging for Compaction. This utility must be configured as part of the table configuration. The extended compaction logs are stored in a separate file. For details, see Enabling extended compaction logging.
