Modify logging for selenium-server-standalone.jar

[Alex Philippi]

Hi all,
I try to modify the log-behavior for my selenium nodes, because the nodes are quite chatty. Therefore I added -Djava.util.logging.config.file=logging.properties when I start the node to be able to only see important messages. But this doesn't work. I see these annoying INFO-logs. Do I missing something? Should I use the jetty-logging instead of java.util?

I start the node this way:

java -jar -Dwebdriver.ie.driver="Webdriver\IEDriverServer.exe" -Djava.util.logging.config.file=logging.properties selenium-server-standalone-2.48.2.jar -role node -nodeConfig remoteNodeConfig.json

And this is the content of the logging.properties:

handlers= java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler

java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = WARNING

I hope you can help :)

Best Regards
Alex

Alex,

This is mostly because of the way in which Selenium Grid configures the Log Handlers.

Try adding the JVM argument "-Dselenium.LOGGER.level=WARNING" to your node startup command.

This would basically quieten the chatty console :)

If you are keen on knowing why this JVM argument here's why.

• The lines of code that is responsible for configuring the console log levels : https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/master/java/server/src/org/openqa/grid/selenium/GridLauncher.java#L192-L195
• The log levels are fetched as seen here : https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/master/java/server/src/org/openqa/grid/selenium/GridLauncher.java#L161-L164 [ This doesn't seem to be coming in from the utils logging configuration file that you are throwing in ]
• The default logging level is determined as seen here : https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/selenium/blob/master/java/server/src/org/openqa/selenium/remote/server/log/LoggingOptions.java#L80-L87

Hope that helps 

Thanks & Regards
