How to suppress below INFO and WARNING messages using log4j.properties

log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (com.ibm.connect.shadow.parquet.crypto.EncryptionPropertiesFactory).

log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly.

log4j:WARN See http://logging.apache.org/log4j/1.2/faq.html#noconfig for more info.

Hi Srmitta,

In my lab I cannot see any warn or info while doing hadoop commands. Please try the below setting in the hdfs-log4j :

hadoop.root.logger=INFO,WARN,console
hadoop.log.dir=.
hadoop.log.file=hadoop.log

Hi Arun

Seeing this Information warnings on client side, created log4j.properties file on client and added properties what you suggested and passed log4j.properties file using -Dlog4j.configuration to client application, this didn't help, still seeing messages.

Only way I could stop that message is by setting .level = SEVERE in IBM JDK logging.properties file. Wondering if there is another way I could stop this message without making changes to logging.properties file.

Thanks

Hi Srinivasa, As this is a 3rd party application I am not really sure about it.  Glad that currently you have a property that help in achieving the goal.
