# Logger

## Overview

The **Logger** workspace lets administrators configure the log levels of the **Tax Administration** module. Adjusting log levels here is the recommended way to capture additional diagnostic information when investigating an issue, without restarting the software.

## Navigation

The **Logger** workspace can be found in the **Administration** folder of the **Tax Administration** module.

'Logger' workspace

The table lists every configured logger. The columns contain the following information:

| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| **Module name** | The module the logger belongs to (for example **Tax Administration**). |
| **Logger name** | The technical name of the logger (for example `root`, `console`, `org.springframework`). |
| **Log level** | Editable drop-down list with the current log level (see the table below). |
| **Logger ID** | The technical identifier of the logger configuration (for example `Console_JSON`). |
| **Logger type** | The output type of the logger (for example `CONSOLE`). |

## Changing a Log Level

To change a log level, proceed as follows:

1. Locate the logger you want to change. You can use the search field or the column filters above the table.

2. Open the **Log level** drop-down list in the row of the required logger and select the desired level.

3. Click **Save** to apply the change.

## Available Log Levels

The following log levels are commonly available in the drop-down list. Levels are hierarchical — selecting a level includes all more severe levels as well.

| Level | Description |
|---|---|
| **OFF** | Disable the logger entirely. |
| **ERROR** | Default for production loggers — only errors are recorded. |
| **WARN** | In addition to errors, log warnings about unusual but recoverable situations. |
| **INFO** | Standard operational events (start-up, configuration loaded). |
| **DEBUG** | Detailed diagnostic information; useful when reproducing a specific issue. |
| **TRACE** | Very fine-grained, high-volume tracing; use only short-term during investigation. |

> **Warning:** DEBUG and TRACE levels can produce a large volume of log data and may impact performance. Use them temporarily to investigate a specific problem and adjust the level afterwards.

> **Note:** The **root** logger acts as the fallback for every logger that does not have its own configuration. Changing the root level therefore changes the verbosity of the whole application.
