Cassandra HeartBeat logs - cassandra

Question

I am using cassandra in my spring application. Everytime a request comes or connection is idle, cassandra is printing heartbeat DEBUG logs through logback of my application. I want to stop these heartbeat logs in my debug logs.

Answer 1

What logger are you using?
If you are using log4j you can configure the debug level like this:
import org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator;
private static final org.slf4j.Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(Application.class);
public Application() {
final Properties properties = new Properties();
properties.put("log4j.rootLogger", "INFO, A1");
PropertyConfigurator.configure(properties);
}
Then the heartbeats should not longer be printed out.
