Time for action – changing your logging configuration
When testing client-server interaction or exploring new functions, it may be useful to have more information inside the logfile. We will now raise the verbosity of GeoServer.
Click on the Global link in the Settings menu.
Scroll down to the logging and profiles section.
Now change the Logging Profile setting to Verbose logging:
Click on GeoServer logs in About & Status to review the logs. Optionally, review the log from the filesystem,
/data_dir/logs/geoserver.log.
What just happened?

Have a go hero – making your own logging level
Read a little about log4J and create your own logging properties configuration. Why wait until the advanced chapter? Duplicate one of the property files in $GEOSERVER_DATA_DIR/logs. The filename will be used...
