Hi Atita, I did not try it, but I think that following could work:
#logging queries log4j.logger.org.apache.solr.handler.component.QueryComponent=WARN,slow log4j.appender.slow=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender log4j.appender.slow.File=${solr.log}/slow.log log4j.appender.slow.layout=org.apache.log4j.EnhancedPatternLayout log4j.appender.slow.layout.ConversionPattern=%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5p (%t) [%X{collection} %X{shard} %X{replica} %X{core}] %c{1.} %m%n If you want to log all queries, you can change level for query component to INFO.
