Hi, all, Geode, before using log4j for logging has implemented its own LogWriters and logLevels. Geode log levels has values like "finest, finer, fine, config, info, warning, error, severe". We've moved away from using these log writers to favor using log4j logging. So, mostly, geode logs have log4j log statements with levels like "fatal, error, warn, info, debug".
But by examining our existing commands that has log-level options, specifically "start server", "start locator", "alter runtime", "change log-level", these commands are still accepting log-levels with geode log levels, and under the cover, it has a mapping to the log4j levels. Since we are moving away from geode's own logging, I would like to propose changing these commands to use log4j log levels explicitly. To avoid breaking existing commands, we can provide a mapping to the log4j levels after user provides an "old" log level, but at least I would like to have the auto complete start showing the log4j levels instead of the geode log levels and move towards getting rid of these old levels completely. -- Cheers Jinmei
