[Opensim-users] Config option to lower Xengine debugging level?

[Justin Clark-Casey]

Yes, the traditional log setting has been DEBUG for OpenSim as an alpha level project.

I actually find the discipline of this quite good - it encourages people not to leave a huge amount of logging output in 
debug and make it extremely difficult to pin down an error when you do need some such output.  But it's a debatable 
point since one could adjust the log4net stuff instead.

As you say, it's not the highest priority item to address :)
