đŸ§” Do you think framework should log all (successful and failed) requests by default? https://github.com/ktorio/ktor/issues/319

He makes a good argument. Also, since its an opt-in feature I cant see a problem with it being "verbose" by default.
k
Failed yes, success no IMHO... would be easy too verbose and swamp the failure messages...
p
Yes. Not logging success is an optimisation.

On my production system (running ktor in a kind-of heroku enviroment) I can “only” post about 100 lines per second to stdout until the locking in some lower levels won’t allow ktor to response to request in reasonable time. So I would really prefer not to log success requests in INFO.
elizarov is right that the log is a typically starting point of investigation, but this won’t work any more when you have more than a few users per minute

I think logging framework should allow switching levels dynamically at runtime, but SLF4J doesn’t have it. Dropwizard for example employs logback directly and uses its facilities.

I couldn't believe slf4j couldn't change logging levels at runtime so had to dig. Only workaround I found was this: http://projects.lidalia.org.uk/lidalia-slf4j-ext/ But yep... that seems like a bug on slf4j 😛
