Print the logger information, update the logger level
# Usage
# Print the logger information
Take the following logback.xml as an example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<appender name="APPLICATION" class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender">
<file>app.log</file>
<rollingPolicy class="ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.SizeAndTimeBasedRollingPolicy">
<fileNamePattern>mylog-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}.%i.txt</fileNamePattern>
<maxFileSize>100MB</maxFileSize>
<maxHistory>60</maxHistory>
<totalSizeCap>2GB</totalSizeCap>
</rollingPolicy>
<encoder>
<pattern>%logger{35} - %msg%n</pattern>
</encoder>
</appender>
<appender name="ASYNC" class="ch.qos.logback.classic.AsyncAppender">
<appender-ref ref="APPLICATION" />
</appender>
<appender name="CONSOLE" class="ch.qos.logback.core.ConsoleAppender">
<encoder>
<pattern>%-4relative [%thread] %-5level %logger{35} - %msg %n
</pattern>
<charset>utf8</charset>
</encoder>
</appender>
<root level="INFO">
<appender-ref ref="CONSOLE" />
<appender-ref ref="ASYNC" />
</root>
</configuration>

Note that the hashcode changes, you need to check the current ClassLoader information first, and extract the hashcode corresponding to the ClassLoader.
if you use-c, you have to manually type hashcode by -c <hashcode>.

appenderRef [APPLICATION]
For classloader with only one instance, it can be specified by --classLoaderClass using class name, which is more convenient to use.
logger --classLoaderClass sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader
- PS: Here the classLoaderClass in java 8 is sun.misc.Launcher$AppClassLoader, while in java 11 it's jdk.internal.loader.ClassLoaders$AppClassLoader.
The value of --classloaderclass is the class name of classloader. It can only work when it matches a unique classloader instance. The purpose is to facilitate the input of general commands. However, -c <hashcode> is dynamic.
# Update logger level
[arthas@2062]$ logger --name ROOT --level debug
update logger level success.
# Speecify classloader to update logger level
By default，logger command will be executed under SystemClassloader, if the application is a traditional war, or using spring boot fat jar, then it needs to specify classloader。
You can first use sc -d yourClassName to check specified classloader hashcode，then specify classloader when updating logger level:
[arthas@2062]$ logger -c 2a139a55 --name ROOT --level debug
# View the logger information without appenders
By default, the logger command only prints information about the logger with appenders. If you want to see information about loggers without appender, you can use the parameter --include-no-appender.
Note that the output will usually be very long.
[arthas@2062]$ logger --include-no-appender
