设置根日志级别的正确方法是使用logging.level.root属性。参见文档，自最初提出这个问题以来，文档已经更新。

例子:

logging.level.root=WARN

in spring boot project we can write logging.level.root=WARN but here problem is, we have to restart again even we added devtools dependency, in property file if we are modified any value will not autodetectable, for this limitation i came to know the solution i,e we can add actuator in pom.xml and pass the logger level as below shown in postman client in url bar http://localhost:8080/loggers/ROOT or http://localhost:8080/loggers/com.mycompany and in the body you can pass the json format like below

{
  "configuredLevel": "WARN"
}

记录:官方文档，如Spring Boot v1.2.0。RELEASE和Spring v4.1.3 RELEASE:

If the only change you need to make to logging is to set the levels of various loggers then you can do that in application.properties using the "logging.level" prefix, e.g. logging.level.org.springframework.web: DEBUG logging.level.org.hibernate: ERROR You can also set the location of a file to log to (in addition to the console) using "logging.file". To configure the more fine-grained settings of a logging system you need to use the native configuration format supported by the LoggingSystem in question. By default Spring Boot picks up the native configuration from its default location for the system (e.g. classpath:logback.xml for Logback), but you can set the location of the config file using the "logging.config" property.

更新:从Spring Boot v1.2.0开始。释放，应用程序中的设置。属性或应用程序。你可以。请参见参考指南的日志级别部分。

logging.level.org.springframework.web: DEBUG
logging.level.org.hibernate: ERROR

对于早期版本的Spring Boot，您不能这样做。为此，您只需使用日志框架的正常配置(log4j、logback)。将适当的配置文件(log4j.xml或logback.xml)添加到src/main/resources目录并根据自己的喜好进行配置。

当从命令行启动应用程序时，可以通过指定——debug来启用调试日志记录。

Spring Boot还为logback提供了一个很好的起点来配置一些默认值，着色等。base.xml文件可以简单地包含在你的logback.xml文件中。(这也是Spring Boot中默认的logback.xml的建议。

<include resource="org/springframework/boot/logging/logback/base.xml"/>     

在Springboot 2中，你可以像这样用环境变量设置根日志级别:

logging.level.root=DEBUG

或者你可以像这样为包设置特定的日志记录:

logging.level.my.package.name=TRACE

如果您想使用不同的日志框架(例如log4j)，我发现最简单的方法是禁用spring引导自己的日志记录并实现自己的日志记录。这样我就可以在一个文件log4j.xml(在我的例子中)中配置每个日志级别。

要实现这一点，你只需要将这些行添加到你的pom.xml:

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-web</artifactId>
</dependency>

<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
    <exclusions>
        <exclusion>
            <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
            <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-logging</artifactId>
        </exclusion>
    </exclusions>
</dependency>
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
    <artifactId>spring-boot-starter-log4j</artifactId>
</dependency>

您可能已经有了第一个依赖项，只需要另外两个依赖项。请注意，这个例子只包含log4j。 以上就是全部内容，现在您就可以在log4j配置文件中为引导配置日志了!
