How can I configure the logging/How to turn off debugging messages
Configuring logging for the Pentaho-Report-Designer
The Pentaho Report-Designer ships with Log4J and therefore can be configured by placing a "log4j.xml" file into the "$(PRD-Installation-Dir)/resources" directory. In Pentaho Report-Designer 3.6, a properly configured log4j-configuration file exists already.

NOTE: %F:%M:%L (File:Method:Line) is useless because of the way Kettle logs messages.
They always show up as coming from the LogWriter class. Also, it is expensive to
generate the location information (although since there is only ever one location
I imagine it gets cached and reused throughout the life of the application).

Configuring the logging system for Pentaho Reporting Classic 0.8.10 and later
Since version 0.8.10, we use Apache-Commons-Logging for all Logging activities. If Log4J is on the Classpath, Apache-Commons-Logging will automatically use this logsystem and all logging activities must be configured via Log4J.
For development purposes, it can be useful to reroute all logging to System.err instead. For this, you need to have two properties file on your classpath:
In commons-logging.properties you configure the logging system to be used. The following configuration forces commons-logging to use System.err for all logging.
| Code Block |
|---|
org.apache.commons.logging.Log=org.apache.commons.logging.impl.SimpleLog
|
The log-level and log-filters can now be configured using a file called simplelog.properties.
| Code Block |
|---|
org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.defaultlog=trace
org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.log.org.pentaho.reporting=trace
org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.log.com.opensymphony.oscache=warn
org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.log.net.sf.ehcache=warn
org.apache.commons.logging.simplelog.showlogname=true

Configuring the logging system for Pentaho Reporting Classic 0.8.9 and older
Logging is controlled by the JFreeReport configuration. You can tweak the configuration by creating a 'jfreereport.properties' file, putting that into the root of your classpath (the 'default' package, or for instance WEB-INF/classes, if you're in a Servlet-Container).
