How to Change the log level for Go based microservices in system.yaml file

The system.yaml file can be found in the directory $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/etc/.

To enable verbose logging, it is possible to modify the log level for specific microservices within the system.yaml file. Below is an example snippet demonstrating how to enable the debug log level for the Frontend and Router microservices:

Example:

frontend:
  logging:
    application:
      level: debug

router:
  logging:
    application:
      level: debug

Please note the following:

1. No restart is required after adding loggers to the logback.xml file.
2. It is important to exercise caution when enabling debug loggers, as they can generate a significant volume of log output that may impact system performance. It is generally recommended to enable debug loggers only when actively troubleshooting or investigating specific issues.
3. Once the necessary information has been collected, it is advisable to remove the debug loggers from the logback.xml file or revert the log level back to its default setting in the system.yaml file to avoid unnecessary overhead.
