Limit logging level for a category
You will also have to boost the logging limits set for individual categories. Take the following category for example. This limits the level of logging to INFO for all JBoss classes, apart from those which have more specific overrides provided. By default the root logger in the jboss-log4j.xml is set to INFO. This effectively means that any TRACE or DEBUG logger from any logger categories will not be logged in any files or the console appender. This setting is controlled through the jboss.server.log.threshold property.
